The show will name one invention the 2007 Modern Marvel of the Year during Modern Marvels: Great Inventions Week on The History Channel May 15-17.
Roy Pellegrin, of Wailuku, created an aqueous-froth air filter. The filter cleans contaminated air by trapping particles and gases in bubbles and then cooling the bubbles to form water droplets that wash out the contaminants.
