ALLFROMAIR® Addendum No. 5: Fog Integration — DEP-Enhanced Wire-Forest Fog Collection Combined with Passive Radiative Cooling for Atmospheric Water Harvesting (Defensive Publication, Prior Art Disclosure)
This defensive technical publication establishes prior art for the use of the ALLFROMAIR® wire-forest electrode geometry as an active fog water collector, integrated with passive radiative sub-cooling (SiO2/HfO2 selective coating on Al 6061-T6 substrate), DEP-field-enhanced droplet steering, and vibration-induced Rayleigh-resonance desorption. Quantitative analysis demonstrates collection flow rates of 1.0–6.0 L/m2/h during fog periods — 8–17x greater than standard mesh fog collectors — with combined daily yields of 4.0–7.5 L/m2/day across nine of ten global climate classes. No hardware modification to the existing system is required. Specific Energy Consumption: 0.007–0.052 kWh/m3. Published under CC BY-SA 4.0. Supplement to Defensive Technical Publication (December 2025) and Addenda 1–4 (March 2026).
