- Reservoir for liquid storage.
- Capture devices with wells and electrodes.
- Electric field generation for capturing substances.
Potential Applications:
- Water purification.
- Chemical separation.
- Environmental remediation.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient liquid capture.
- Enhanced separation processes.
- Environmental cleanup.
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency.
- Cost-effective solution.
- Environmental impact mitigation.
Commercial Applications:
- Water treatment facilities.

- Environmental cleanup companies.
Prior Art: Research on electric field-based separation technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on enhancing electric field capture methods.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system improve liquid capture efficiency? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
A system including: a reservoir for holding the liquid; and one or more capture devices, each comprising: a well having a top opening up to the reservoir, a bottom, and a depth extending from the top to the bottom, and a first set of electrodes at least 50%, at least 65%, or at least 75%, of the well's depth below the top opening, for generating an electric field.
