Project Introduction
This experiment is studying a scientific phenomena based on nano-particle migration and capture achieved by very small thermal gradients. The instrument is able to generate micro-oscillations of the nano-particles present in the atmosphere, until the same are trapped on the metallic surface of an inner lamina, ready to undergo following laboratory analysis. This experiment may later be used in combustion verification and tuning of parameters, hostile environment analysis and monitoring, and prevention of polluion via analysis of atmospheric conditions, identification of contaminents, and calculation of percent concentration.
