Electric Condensation of Water

Quite how an electric field is supposed to dehumidify is currently obscure. It's fine trying it, until the field strength is so strong that a spark develops and the field breaks down.

Wise money is on the cooling technique. It's a safe bet.

Hi PWSlack

Of course I will try this technique to study the effect of electric filed on condensation

of water from moist air .I think we should experiment on different temperatures upto

100 C ! .I think the same theory may be applied on the raining .

Hello AshrafSiddiqui

Thank you for your advice.

<"Another method may be to pass the moist air

through a suitable electric field so that water molecules would begin to allign

and hence facilitates condensation of water from moist air .">

Of course the moisture in the air would need to actually condense onto a cooler surface.

Kind Regards....

Actually, he is sort of describing a Wet Electro Static Precipitator (WESP), used more for removing particulates rather than the moisture, but it essentially does remove the moisture too.

You can also affect this kind of action with electricity by using a peltier device to create the cold surface.

Hello JRaef

Thank you for the WESP information.

Re the "Peltier" device, I used "Frigistors" back in the early 1960'sfrom the De La Rue Frigistor Co, based in the UK, and very effective they were too, for removing excess heat from early germanium power transistor heatsinks.

Electricity can also be more commonly used to make a cooler surface for condensation of water vapour, via the compressor/evaporator system (refrigeration), as the technology is well proven.

Kind Regards....

Look up the "Wilson Chamber".
