This device can be set on vehicles and larger area could be "treated", for example, a city, and it can work as a stationary device. During creation of this device, three innovators mounted the device on vehicle and "processed" the entire right coast of Vardar river in Skopje, and the fog was gone in 10 minutes.

To be completely sure in the efficiency o this patent, they tested it in the Suvodol mine, in the Mining, energy Combine Bitola, and the last time in 2002. on Skopje airport. The results were the same everywhere, the fog was gone in very short notice in the radius of 1.5 kilometers from the place it was used. 

Despite that, state institutions were not interested in the application of this patent, and now, in order to reduce the air pollution, they will introduce even and odd driving schedule.
