Our system
Air Support Project is a nonprofit dedicated to producing affordable, high‑performance air purifiers—ensuring everyone has access to cleaner indoor air. Guided by the principle that healthy air is a human right, our engineering team is developing a prototype inspired by the Corsi‑Rosenthal Box, merging proven design with innovative new features.
ACTUALLY QUIET
At 50dB, it's softer than most "whisper-quiet" units on high speed
FLAT PACK SHIPPING
Lower shipping costs and you'll have it running in minutes
Three-layer protection
Pre-filter catches the big stuff, charcoal handles odors, MERV-13 tackles the nasties
No guessing games
Smart lights tell you exactly when filters need changing
Planet-friendly
Uses less energy, creates less waste, and filters last longer
Easy assembly
Seriously, No tools, no headaches - just minutes to cleaner air.
Pollutants removed by vello
The Vello filters a wide range of contaminants out of the air with its 450 CADR and non-proprietary MERV-13 filters. Vello can also accommodate a pre-filter mesh and an activated carbon filter for three levels of protection against whatever is in your air.
SMOG
0.1 – 10 µm
Pollution from automobiles and industry. A major source of PM 2.5 particles that infiltrate the lungs.
INFECTIOUS AEROSOLS
0.1 - 2.5 µm
Ultrafine aerosols can carry viruses, bacteria, and other contagious illnesses.
WILDFIRE SMOKE
0.1 – 10 µm
Smoke from wildfires travels on wind currents and can blanket cities thousands of miles away in a haze. Small particles in this smoke can infiltrate buildings through HVAC systems.
mOLD
8 - 80 μm
Mold spores are common throughout the environment, including in the home, and tend to fester in damp places. They can trigger asthma and other chronic health problems.
other pollutants
Removing these particles from the your air can improve your health and performance.
POLLEN
10 - 100 μm
Trees, flowers, grasses, and weeds are the most common source of seasonal allergies when then release their pollen.
VOCs
0.000001 μm
VOCs leach into the home from carpeting, paint, cleaning products, and other household materials. They are millions of times smaller than fine particles, and require carbon filters to remove.
PET DANDER
0.1 – 25 μm
Skin and hair particles shed by household pets. A major allergy and asthma trigger.
DUST
0.1 – 100 μm Dust from both indoor and outdoor sources can accumulate inside homes, coat surfaces, and trigger asthma and other breathing problems.
