Abstract
In the present study, we conducted a fog harvesting experiment using a unit which composed by 3 wires. Enhanced fog harvesting performance was seen with the unit contained hydrophobic wires at upstream side and superhydrophilic wire at downstream side. Directional droplet transportation from upstream to downstream side with the help of fog stream and a wettability difference of wires prevents to decrease the cross sectional area which can collide with fog particles. In addition, the effect of wire arrangement on the harvesting performance was experimentally investigated. Distance between two wires was important because it affected to the occurrence of droplet transportation.
