Public award description
NOVAWAVE TECHNOLOGIES PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL AERODYNAMIC PARTICLE SIZING INSTRUMENT BASED ON A NON-OPTICAL, CHARGE SENSING METHOD. THE INSTRUMENT WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE AERODYNAMIC DIAMETER OF PARTICLES LARGER THAN ONE MICROMETER. IN ADDITION IT WILL MEASURE THE ELECTRIC CHARGE ON PARTICLES CARRYING MORE THAN 250 UNIT CHARGES. THE INITIAL EFFORT WILL BE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING METHODS, INCLUDING CORONA DISCHARGE AND TRIBO-CHARGING, FOR ELECTRIFYING NEUTRAL PARTICLES TO LEVELS SUFFICIENT FOR DETECTION. THE ENVISIONED INSTRUMENT WILL WEIGH LESS THAN 2 KG AND WILL REQUIRE JUST 2000 CC OF VOLUME. IT IS INTENDED FOR DEPLOYMENT ON A UAV DEPLOYED FOR IN-SITU CHARACTERIZATION OF VOLCANIC ASH PLUMES.
