The present disclosure is directed to a tire particulate collection device for a motor vehicle. A tire particulate collection device is disclosed having at least a first chamber which includes a first grate and, a first collection compartment where tire particulate or other debris are collected. The device also comprises a last chamber having a collection plate. The last chamber also has a last collection compartment that allows entry of tire particulate matter into the last collection compartment. During vehicle operation, the tire particulate matter is accelerated through the device due to an applied electric field induced by providing an electrical charge to at least the first grate and collection plate. The tire particulate is then collected within the device.

The invention provides apparatus for separation of particles and methods for using the apparatus. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes three arms extending radially from a central reservoir, each arm being associated with a separation electrode. At least one on the arms includes a separation medium. Using a sequence of driving and mobility-changing voltages, target particles can be separated from closely related particles within a sample. For example, single point mutations can be resolved from a sample containing predominantly wild type nucleic acids.

The system extracts water from lunar regolith and includes a regolith intake having a digging bucket that collects lunar regolith soil and a gravel separator that separates and discharges gravel and passes a mixture of ice-regolith powder having ice grains that are about 10-100 microns along the conveyor. A pneumatic separator receives the ice-regolith powder and pneumatically splits the ice-regolith powder into streams of different sized lithic fragments and ice particles per the ratio of inertial force and aerodynamic drag force of the lithic fragments and ice particles. Each split stream may include a magnetic separator that separates further the magnetic and paramagnetic lithic fragments from ice particles to discharge up to 80 percent of lithic fragments to slag.
