NASA's Self-Cleaning Seals (Electrodynamic Dust Shield) Technology Webinar

NASA’s self-cleaning seals use electrodynamic dust shielding technology to actively repel dust, preventing wear and tear while ensuring continuous efficiency. These seals can operate in both continuous and period cleaning modes. They offer vast potential for applications beyond space, including industries like material handling, mining, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Space applications include self-cleaning seals for hatches, suit ports, airlocks, and docking systems for pressurized volumes (e.g., habitats, rovers, space suits) in dusty environments such as the lunar surface.
