Electric field breakthrough triples visibility in fog dissipation, revolutionizing outdoor safety.
Researchers investigated how applying an electric field can help dissipate fog more quickly and effectively. They used a special chamber to study how the electric field affects the concentration of charged fog droplets. The results showed that visibility can greatly improve in a short time with the electric field. The concentration of fog droplets initially increases, then decreases, and eventually becomes very low with the electric field. The findings suggest that the electric field can help disperse fog by affecting the forces acting on the droplets. This information can be used to improve methods for clearing fog outdoors in the future.
