The number of diseases has greatly increased in the last decades in addition to the global pandemic that affected everyone’s life and killed a lot of humans. With this increase, the use of masks has greatly increased as well. Modern masks have various problems and can be inconvenient to keep all day long. One of its worst problems is that they cause the fogging up of eyeglasses. Many products have tried to solve this problem, but none was completely successful. This paper aims to design a new mask that tackles this problem in an innovative way by optimizing the airflow of warm breath to exit the mask from the sides instead of going upward. The mask is for human use and can be adopted by global standards.
