Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices systems and methods for removing moisture from a material via radio frequency electromagnetic wave exposure. A moisture-removal system can include having spaced apart a first and a second electrical conductor extending along a same first direction, each of the first and second electrical conductor comprising opposing broad top and bottom sides, the broad bottom side of the first electrical conductor facing the broad top side of the second electrical conductor. The system includes a material containing moisture at least partially filling the space between the first and the second electrical conductor. The system further includes at least one first wire attached to a first radio frequency generator and to the first end of the first electrical conductor. The system also includes at least one second wire attached to the electrical ground of the first radio frequency generator to the first end of the second electrical conductor.

Abstract: Systems and methods of grain drying using radio frequency waves while maintaining low temperature are disclosed herein. The method and systems described herein use radio frequency waves to dry harvest crops at low temperatures. Specifically, the system and method includes minimizing temperature increases caused by dielectric radio frequency heating while increasing intermolecular hydrogen bond disruption.
