Addendum No. 3: Hybrid Aerodynamic Flow Control and Storm-Safe Logic for ALLFROMAIR® Atmospheric Water Harvesting through Electrodynamic Physisorption and Vibration-Induced Desorption

This technical addendum (No. 3) introduces critical mechanical and algorithmic advancements for the ALLFROMAIR® system, specifically optimized for outdoor agricultural and industrial applications (Variant 2). The disclosure details a hybrid control strategy for airflow designed to maximize mass transfer across the concentration boundary layer (δc). By utilizing an Intelligent Adaptive Control Unit (IACU) to regulate internal air velocity at a constant 1. 0 m/s through the coordinated use of mechanical louvers and EC fans, the system ensures the boundary layer remains compressed. This optimization maximizes the local mass transfer coefficient (hₘ) in accordance with Fick’s laws. The integrated control logic manages the system as a field continuum, regulating the high-voltage DC module 1. 0–4. 0 kV to maximize the Modified Kelvin-Thomson (MKT) effect. This process lowers the chemical potential at the electrode surface to force condensation from sub-saturated air. To maintain dielectric stability, voltage is pulse-width modulated (PWM) to prevent Townsend avalanches according to Paschen’s Law as humidity or liquid accumulation increases. Furthermore, the document outlines "storm-safe" logic for extreme meteorological conditions, involving an instantaneous field collapse and the rotation of mechanical louvers to a 0° "feathering" position to minimize the drag coefficient (Cd) and protect the structural integrity of the micro-electrodes and chassis. This report serves as a formal defensive publication to establish prior art and ensure freedom to operate within the public domain.
