You should take a shower. An air shower that is!
In the modern world, people like to keep themselves clean, so they take showers everyday. Or at least they should. But what if we would replace the water showers with air ones? That would be cool, cause you would get rid of all the inconvenients, like getting wet, getting cold, etc.
But no, ordinary showers won’t be replaced, at least for now. Air powered showers do exist though. Take a look at this concept from Okamura Corp and Sanki Engineering, designed to be used for the entrance of hospitals and office buildings, in order to clean the users of pollen and dust.
This device is 90% effective and is made of a cubic cabin, in which air is shot towards the user through a filtered nozzle and then sucked out on the other side of the booth. This way, the powerful air flow cleans the person inside of the impurities.
I admit, this thing is pretty interesting, especially if you have colleagues allergic to dust or pollen, but it is kind of pricey too. The device will be available from October for around 16.000 $. And it’s not recommended to be used by people with long hair, cause this shower can really destroy your hairdo in like seconds.

I worked in several clean rooms a few years ago that had air showers. They were annoying because it always took 20-30 seconds to do something simple… like walking through a doorway. They’re a novelty for about a week. Then they’re a pain in the a$$.
