in two preferred embodiments the invention is configured in the shape of a tobacco pipe and smoker &# 39 ; s cigarette . the examples detailed below show fig1 and 2 as a bowl pipe and fig3 and 4 as a cylinder pipe . with reference to fig1 and fig2 , the bowl pipe configuration includes ; a bowl ( 1 ), a stem ( 2 ) and mouthpiece ( 7 ). an internal cylinder ( 8 ) inside the bowl , houses a dual fan mechanism comprising air extractor blades ( 9 ) and active substance extractor blades ( 10 ) which consist of fan blades extending away from central axles ( 11 ) and ( 12 ) in a perpendicular direction ; the axles are connected to magnets ( 13 ) and ( 14 ). the said blades can be tilted to provide the appropriate level of air resistance when air is drawn through the inward air channel ( 3 ) which causes air extractor blades ( 9 ) and axle ( 11 ) to spin in compartment ( a ), and in tandem , axle ( 12 ) and fan blades ( 10 ) turn to generate a resulting level of air propulsion in compartment ( b ) directing air to the user &# 39 ; s nostrils via external air channel ( 4 ) and outlet nozzle ( 5 ). ambient air is drawn through mouthpiece ( 7 ) and into the user &# 39 ; s lungs and within funnel 20 or external air channel ( 6 ) it is possible to include a replaceable air fitter ( made of a reasonably dense but still penetrable substance ) with the potential to remove some large air pollution or naturally occurring particulates . in order for air to reach the mouthpiece the air has traveled from inward ventilation holes ( 3 ), into compartment ( a ), then through air extractor blades ( 9 ) and into funnel ( 20 ), the air is then drawn into external air channel ( 6 ); when this airflow contacts the internal blades ( 9 ) in compartment ( a ) they spin , turning axle ( 11 ) and magnet ( 13 ). magnets ( 13 ) and ( 14 ) have a magnetic connection across an impervious membrane ( 15 ), ensuring fan blades ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) and axles ( 11 ) and ( 12 ) move simultaneously without air mixing across the said compartments . magnet ( 13 ) sits on the upstream end of axle ( 11 ). at the top of the bowl is a removable cover ( 16 ) with screw - cap thread ( 17 ). under the removable cover is a third compartment ( 18 ) for housing an active substance ( 19 ). an inward flow of ambient air molecules is drawn into compartment ( 18 ) via inward ventilating holes ( 22 ), this activity allows aromas from the said active substance to be combined with the said ambient air ; these holes may also indicate when the active substance expiry date is reached , through an oxidation process that over a prescribed time changes color to indicate when the active substance replacement is necessary . when active substance extractor blades ( 10 ) turn in response to the movement of air extractor blades ( 9 ), it creates a partial vacuum drawing ambient air down through inward ventilation holes ( 22 ) and the third compartment ( 18 ). the active substance is then drawn through permeable gauze membrane ( 23 ) into compartment ( b ) until it is propelled by ( 10 ) and then funneled by ( 21 ) into external air channel ( 4 ), exiting the unit via an outlet nozzle ( 5 ). the base of the funnel ( 21 ) contains a roller bearing ( 21 b ) through which axle ( 12 ) can turn . magnet ( 14 ) sits below roller bearing ( 21 b ) on the end of axle ( 12 ). when the active substance is expelled out of outlet nozzle ( 5 ) it is concentrated into a thin column of air and directed by this nozzle into the user &# 39 ; s nostrils . a detachable directional component ( acting as an air channel extension ) may be attached to the nozzle to alter the angle at which air is directed into the nose . with reference to fig3 and 4 , this type of cylinder pipe configuration includes ; a cylinder ( 25 ), a mouthpiece ( 30 ) and removable cover ( 45 ). inside cylinder ( 25 ) are three compartments ( c ), ( d ) and ( 39 ) housing dual fan mechanisms ( 31 ) an air extractor and ( 32 ) an active substance extractor , with blades extending away from central axles ( 33 ) and ( 34 ) in a perpendicular direction ; the axles are connected to magnets ( 35 ) and ( 36 ). the said blades can be tilted to provide the appropriate level of air resistance and resulting axle spin in compartment ( c ), and in tandem the appropriate level of air propulsion in compartment ( d ) directing air into the user &# 39 ; s nostrils . ambient air is drawn through mouthpiece ( 30 ) and into the user &# 39 ; s lungs and within the said mouthpiece it is possible to include a replaceable air filter ( made of a reasonably dense but still penetrable substance ) with the potential to remove some large air pollution or naturally occurring particulates . access to the replaceable filter would be via a detachable mouthpiece ( 30 ) with screw thread attaching to the cylinder ( 25 ). in order for air to reach the mouthpiece , the air has traveled from one or more inward ventilation holes ( 26 ) into compartment ( c ), through air extractor blades ( 31 ) and into funnel ( 29 ); when this airflow contacts the air extractor blades ( 31 ) in compartment ( c ) they spin , turning axle ( 33 ) and magnet ( 35 ). magnets ( 35 ) and ( 36 ) have a magnetic connection across an impervious membrane ( 37 ), ensuring the air extractor blades ( 31 ) and active substance extractor blades ( 32 ) move simultaneously without air mixing between compartments ( c ) and ( d ). at the opposite end to the mouthpiece ( 30 ) of cylinder ( 25 ) there is a removable cylinder cover ( 45 ) with inward ventilation holes ( 42 ) and screw cap thread ( 38 ). inside cylinder cover ( 45 ) there is a third compartment ( 39 ) to house an active substance ( 40 ). the end of cylinder cover ( 45 ) may be transparent to identify the expiry date or time , of the active substance . ambient air is drawn through inward ventilation holes ( 42 ) and then passes into compartment ( 39 ) and over the active substance ( 40 ), then through a permeable gauze membrane ( 43 ) and into chamber ( d ). within the cylinder cover ( 45 ) and third compartment ( 39 ) there is a perforated inner casing ( 46 ) for housing the active substance ( 40 ). the said perforated inner casing holds the active substance in place and allows aromas from the said active substance to be easily combined with air molecules entering via the inward ventilation holes ( 42 ). when active substance extractor blades ( 32 ) turn in response to the movement of air extractor blades ( 31 ), it creates a partial vacuum drawing ambient air down through inward ventilation holes ( 42 ) and the third compartment ( 39 ). the active substance is then drawn through permeable gauze membrane ( 43 ) and into compartment ( d ), until it is propelled by ( 32 ) and then funneled by ( 41 ) into external air channel ( 27 ), exiting the unit via an outlet nozzle ( 28 ). the base of the funnel ( 41 ) contains a roller bearing ( 41 d ) through which axle ( 34 ) can turn . magnet ( 36 ) is located to the right of ( 41 d ) on the end of axle ( 34 ). when the active substance is expelled out of external air channel ( 27 ) and outlet nozzle ( 28 ), it is concentrated into a thin column of air that is directed by the nozzle into the user &# 39 ; s nostrils . a detachable directional component may be attached to the nozzle to after the angle at which air is directed into the user &# 39 ; s nose . aspects of the present invention have been described by way of example only and it should be appreciated that modifications and additions may be made thereto without departing from the scope thereof as defined in the appended claims .
