Thinking in public.

A collector can change the water balance and the optical signal by different amounts. A visibility product has to measure both.

The D/C comparison asks whether electrical operation adds an optical benefit to the same collector under matched conditions.

The published 38.3 Wh/kg estimate is useful context. Turning it into a product specification requires additional measurements and assumptions.

Electrical intervention can change a droplet population without improving visibility. The direction and size of the response must be measured.

The literature includes optical fog-clearing measurements and experiments outside sealed ducts. Their limitations define a better research question.

A device must improve the air that matters to its user. Throughput, bypass and the location of the optical benefit have to be measured together.
