Guide 01 · The physics
What is cold plasma?
The fourth state of matter, how AURA creates it at room temperature, and what it is not.

How it works
The science of cold plasma.
Seven short guides to how AURA treats the air: the physics, the chemistry, the safety, and the evidence. Plain language, no hype.
The guides
Start anywhere. Each guide stands on its own.
Read them in order for the full picture, from what plasma is to how to plan a vessel.
Guide 02 · The chemistry
Reactive species, explained
The short-lived oxygen and nitrogen molecules that do the actual work, and why they do not linger.
Read the guideGuide 03 · The mechanism
How cold plasma treats the air
Three pathways: particle charging, oxidation of odors and VOCs, and inactivation of certain microbes.
Read the guideGuide 04 · Safety
Ozone and cold plasma
Why ozone forms, how the catalytic element controls it, and what the BOOST dial does.
Read the guideGuide 05 · Comparison
Cold plasma vs. filters and ionizers
What HEPA, carbon, UV-C, ionizers and ozone generators each do well, and where AURA fits.
Read the guideGuide 06 · Evidence
Understanding our lab results
How to read a reduction percentage, and what each of our four studies actually measured.
Read the guideGuide 07 · Aboard
Cold plasma aboard yachts
Why the air aboard is different, and how to plan units for every stateroom, salon and crew space.
Read the guideThe short version
Cold plasma in four steps.
-
01
Air is drawn in
The fan pulls room air into the treatment chamber.
-
02
Plasma forms
An electric field energizes the air, which stays near room temperature.
-
03
Reactive species work
Short-lived oxygen and nitrogen species react with odors, VOCs and certain microbes.
-
04
Ozone controlled
A catalytic element reduces ozone before the air exits.
