Portable Electrostatic Evaporative Cooling Enhancer for Food & Pharma Cold Chains
Reliable cold storage is critical for preserving food and pharmaceutical products, yet conventional refrigeration requires a stable electricity supply that is often unavailable in underdeveloped regions. Traditional passive evaporative cooling methods, while centuries old, are highly dependent on ambient humidity and temperature and lack consistent performance. This technology introduces a Portable Electrostatic Cooling Enhancer that enhances evaporative cooling using a low-power electrostatic generator. By generating a gentle ionic wind directed at an evaporating medium such as a hydrogel, the device significantly accelerates evaporation and boosts cooling power with minimal energy input. The cooling strength can be adjusted easily by tuning the electrostatic generator, allowing goods to be maintained at desirable sub-ambient temperatures even under fluctuating environmental conditions. Compact and energy-efficient, this innovation has the potential to support cold-chain logistics operators, food and grocery delivery platforms, and pharmaceutical distributors, particularly in regions with limited infrastructure. Its portability also makes it suitable for widespread adoption across supply chains, ensuring reliable access to fresh produce, medicines, and vaccines. The cooling enhancer consists of microelectrodes arranged with a grounded electrode, powered by a portable, battery-driven electrostatic generator. As the generator is switched on, air molecules in the vicinity of the microelectrodes are ionized and attracted towards the ground electrode. As they travel across the air gap, an ionic wind that blows towards the cooling medium accelerates the removal of water vapor molecules from an evaporating surface such as a hydrogel or water-rich medium.  By adjusting electrode spacing and voltage, users can tune both wind speed and cooling intensity, achieving portable, scalable, and ultra-efficient sub-ambient cooling Laboratory results demonstrated: Cooling power enhancements of up to 88% at low voltages (~5 kV). Coefficient of Performance (COP) > 1000, far surpassing conventional evaporative coolers (COP 10–80). Hydrogel media outperform liquid water in maintaining colder surface temperatures due to reduced convection losses, offering safe, spill-free cooling adaptable to irregular or vertical surfaces.   This cooling enhancer is ideal for passive sub-ambient cooling applications where energy availability is constrained but reliable cold storage is essential. Cold-chain logistics: Ensuring stable sub-ambient storage for vaccines, biologics, and fresh produce during transport, particularly in off-grid or resource-limited regions. Rural and humanitarian aid: Portable coolers for food and medicine distribution in underdeveloped regions without consistent refrigeration. Consumer and commercial cooling: Integration into food delivery platforms or last-mile distribution boxes to reduce reliance on ice or bulky powered refrigeration. Building and infrastructure cooling: Scalable hydrogel coatings or panels for passive temperature regulation on walls, rooftops, and solar farms. Specialized electronics and data centers: Supplementing convective cooling with ionic wind-driven evaporative mechanisms for localized, energy-efficient heat management.   This technology combines ionic wind generation with passive evaporative cooling to deliver ultra-efficient, tunable sub-ambient cooling. Unlike conventional evaporative cooling, which is heavily constrained by ambient temperature and humidity, the electrostatic enhancer actively boosts the evaporation process in two ways: Ionic Wind Effect (Electrohydrodynamic Flow): High-voltage microelectrodes generate localized ionic wind, which accelerates air movement across the evaporating surface, significantly increasing the evaporation rate. Molecular-Level Cooling Enhancement: The applied electrostatic field alters the arrangement of water molecules in hydrogels, lowering the enthalpy of vaporization and allowing water molecules to escape more easily. This dual mechanism achieves substantial cooling power improvements at extremely low energy cost. For example, operating near the corona onset voltage (~5 kV) can yield up to 88% higher cooling power with only ~3% additional energy input, achieving a Coefficient of Performance (COP) more than 30–50 times higher than conventional evaporative coolers.

Solution to Repair Concrete Cracks, Mitigate Rebar Corrosion and Concrete Carbonation
Concrete deterioration caused by cracking, carbonation, and rebar corrosion represents a multi-billion-dollar global challenge. The global concrete repair market is valued at approximately USD 20 billion. Current methods are often labour-intensive, disruptive, or temporary, creating a strong demand for durable, cost-effective, and sustainable repair solutions. This innovation addresses these needs with a two-part treatment system that restores durability and prevents further structural damage: Water-based Concrete Sealer: Applied directly to concrete and steel surfaces, it prevents the ingress of water and corrosive agents (e.g., chlorides). This reduces the rate of concrete carbonation and rebar corrosion, while also functioning as an anti-corrosion coating for steel reinforcement. Micro-cementitious Crack Injection Sealant: A flowable, non-shrink material designed for sealing narrow concrete cracks (≥1.0 mm). When injected into damaged concrete, it consolidates the structure, re-alkalises adjacent carbonated concrete, and protects embedded steel rebars. By reinstating the passivating layer around embedded bars, it slows corrosion and reduces the likelihood of further cracking. Unlike traditional polyurethane injections, it provides durable, long-lasting repair without shrinkage. Both the water-based sealer and micro-cementitious sealant can be used independently or in combination, depending on the protection and repair requirements. This technology is available for R&D collaboration, IP licensing, and test-bedding with industrial partners in the construction and infrastructure sectors. The key technical advantages of this solution include: Two-part solution for crack sealing and concrete carbonation treatment Durable & long-lasting repair: Flowable, non-shrink cementitious sealant for injection grouting High penetration: Effectively seals cracks ≥1 mm  in concrete and mortar Re-alkalisation: Restores the passivating layer around rebars to prevent corrosion Protective barrier: Sealer reduces ingress of water and corrosive chemicals Strong adhesion: Bonds directly to cement, penetrates pores, and will not crack, peel, or delaminate Environmentally friendly: Low odour, VOC-free, water-based formulation This solution can be applied across the construction, building restoration, and conservation industries. Key applications include: Repair of cracking and spalling concrete caused by carbonation Restores the protective alkaline layer around steel reinforcement Mitigates further corrosion and expansion of rebars, preventing progressive cracking of concrete Preventive treatment for newly placed concrete in aggressive environments Provides protection for structures in high-risk areas such as coastal regions, where exposure to moisture, chlorides, and carbonation accelerates deterioration Conventional repair methods for reinforced concrete structures, such as removing damaged concrete or applying polyurethane injections, are often costly, disruptive, and temporary.
