SUPER MASK: One Step Closer to Change
Patent Pending
Product Overview
The SUPER MASK is an innovative personal protective device designed with advanced features to enhance breathability, durability, and filtration performance.
Since the mechanical energy from the moving air from human breathing is constantly available, the triboelectric process continuously replenishes the electrostatic charge, resulting in a self-charging face mask.
By continuously replenishing the charge, the filter maintains its high efficiency for a much longer period than standard electret filters, whose charge dissipates over time.

SUPER MASK “WITH OSCILLATING FILTER ASSEMBLY”
PATENT PENDING
A N95 Pad/BFE95/Tulle Nylon filter with an N95 airtight seal, utilizing the triboelectrification effect, with Bernoulli's principle, produces a face mask performance superior to that of standard surgical masks and even some N95 respirators, according to Researchers at Hong Kong universities, including The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the City University of Hong Kong (CityU).
The invention is a transparent medical-grade plastic face mask designed to form an airtight seal around the user’s face. At the front center of the mask is an opening where a N95PAD/BFE95/Tulle Nylon Filter media is positioned. The filter is sealed within a casing that ensures it is airtight to the mask body while allowing the filter itself to “float” within the central opening. This configuration enables the filter to move backward and forward in response to the wearer’s breathing (inhalation and exhalation).
No current market or prior art face mask designs enable a filter to physically move back and forth within the mask cavity to the extent described herein.
Placing a N95PAD/BFE95 filter medium between two layers of nylon fabric will cause it to become triboelectrically charged.
Studies have shown that this technique can produce a filter with efficiency comparable to, or even exceeding, commercial-grade masks for certain particle sizes, especially for sub-micron particles using the wearer’s breathing motion to continuously refresh the electrostatic charge.
Adding triboelectrification and a tight seal will overcome the limitations of BFE95-rated material.
KEY BENEFITS:
Stronger electrostatic attraction – Increased filtration efficiency – Extended lifespan – Enhanced breathability – Speech clarity – Potential for active disinfection or regeneration – Potentially lasting up to 60 hours in some experiments.
The mask is not FDA/NIOSH tested. Not for medical use. BFE95 filter complies with ASTM F2101-19 and EN 14683:2019, ANN EX B. Only the filter of an N95 Pad complies with NIOSH breathability and resistance.
Potential advantages of a moving filter
Improved filtration efficiency for smaller particles:
Movement can help to overcome the limitations of passive filtration methods, especially for particles in the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) range (0.1-0.5 um), according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Potential for self-cleaning/regenerating filters:
Movement could potentially aid in shedding captured particles or exposing fresh filter surfaces, extending the filter’s effective lifespan, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Reduced breathing resistance:
Innovative designs could potentially enhance breathability by optimizing airflow dynamics and leveraging mechanisms like electrostatic attraction to achieve high filtration with lower pressure drop, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
By integrating triboelectrification into the BFE95 filter media and pairing it with a proper airtight seal, a face mask could achieve and sustain a 95% filtration efficiency at 0.3 microns. The key is using the electrostatic effect to compensate for the limitations of the filter material against smaller particles. September 20, 2020. Researchers developed a self-charging triboelectric face mask designed to filter and deactivate airborne viruses. In December 2022, a Hong Kong team developed, using the triboelectric effect from breathing to replenish its charge, allowing for a longer effective lifespan. In February 2023, Hong Kong researchers demonstrated their design could maintain a high filtering performance for up to 60 hours of wear time, a significant improvement over conventional disposable masks. Current lack of standards: Despite its potential, there is no standardized testing protocol from regulatory bodies for the triboelectric effect itself. Scientific papers acknowledge this gap and call for the development of uniform testing standards for these novel masks.
Yes, Bernoulli's principle is a benefit for the air flow rate.
Leakage: An opening of one inch represents a massive reduction in resistance compared to the filtration material. Air will preferentially travel through this large, low-resistance opening rather than being forced through the rest of the mask's fabric.

Based on research into Samgo1 LLC's technology and related studies, a continuously recharged pad could theoretically inactivate viruses in real-time within a mask. The core concept relies on triboelectrification, which is the generation of static electricity through friction between different materials.
Here is how the "Super Mask" technology is designed to work:
- Active motion: As a user breathes, the motion of the filter material inside the mask causes the fibers to rub against each other.
- Static electricity: This movement generates or replenishes electrostatic charges on the filter fibers through triboelectrification.
- Electrostatic filtration: The electrostatic charges enhance the filter's ability to attract and trap airborne particles, including viruses and bacteria, much more effectively than simple mechanical filtration.
- Self-cleaning mechanism: Samgo1 LLC's website notes that this dynamic movement "potentially dislodges particles through natural air vibration" to achieve a self-cleaning effect. By continuously replenishing the charge, the filter is designed to maintain its high efficiency for a much longer period than standard electret filters, which lose their charge over time.

Dynamic movement creates or replenishes electrostatic charges on the filter fibers, increasing their ability to attract and trap airborne particles, including BFE95 material
When the filter fibers within an air filter move dynamically, they can create or replenish electrostatic charges on their surfaces
. These charges enhance the filter's ability to attract and trap airborne particles, including fine particulate matter like BFE95 material.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Electrostatic Charge Generation: Dynamic movement, like air flowing through the filter or rubbing of fibers (triboelectric charging), can generate or refresh the electrostatic charges on the filter media.
- Enhanced Filtration: Once charged, the filter fibers act like tiny magnets, attracting oppositely charged airborne particles through electrostatic attraction. This is particularly effective for trapping smaller particles that might otherwise slip through the filter's mechanical pores.
- Relevance to BFE95 Material: This process is crucial for filtering fine particulate matter like bacteria and viruses, which are often the concern with materials like BFE95. The electrostatic charges on the filter fibers can effectively capture these small particles, improving the overall filtration efficiency.
In simpler terms, dynamic movement helps to keep the filter "charged up", allowing it to more effectively draw in and trap microscopic particles that would otherwise bypass a purely mechanical filter.

The next evolution in respiratory protection is here — Super Mask™.
Using an ASTM-rated mask with a triboelectrification filter and an airtight seal would result in superior, longer-lasting, and more reliable filtration compared to standard masks. The triboelectrification effect recharges the filter, and the airtight seal ensures all air passes through it.
Enhanced filtration efficiency
- Continuous electrostatic charge: Standard electrostatic (electret) filters lose their charge over time, particularly in humid conditions caused by breathing. A triboelectrification filter uses the wearer's breath and movement to continuously generate and replenish the electrostatic charge, maintaining high filtration efficiency for significantly longer periods.
- Improved particle capture: The self-charging electrostatic effect helps to capture airborne particulate matter (PM), including the most-penetrating particles around 0.3 micrometers. This enhances the filter's mechanical capture mechanisms like sieving and interception.
- Potential for viral deactivation: Some triboelectric face mask designs, especially those with an additional electrocution layer, may even be able to deactivate viruses.
Prolonged usability
- Extended lifespan: Because the electrostatic charge is continuously renewed, the mask's effective service life is significantly extended. Some triboelectric masks have been shown to maintain high filtration efficiency for up to 60 hours of wear, compared to as little as 4 hours for standard surgical masks.
- Reduced pressure drop over time: Researchers have found that some triboelectric filters maintain a low pressure drop (and thus good breathability) over long periods of use, even while collecting more particles.
Higher reliability and safety
- Eliminates inward leakage: Face seal leakage is a major cause of mask failure, allowing unfiltered air to bypass the filter media. An airtight seal, as found in some advanced designs, eliminates this problem and forces all inhaled and exhaled air to pass through the filter.
- Improved respiratory protection: A proper, sealed fit is the primary reason why professional-grade respirators, such as N95s, are more effective than loose-fitting masks. Combining a triboelectrification filter with a perfect seal would provide protection superior to standard surgical masks and could rival or exceed that of conventional N95s.
