Abstract
WH‑E5 Lunar Edition is a non‑atmospheric adaptation of WH‑E5 designed for the Moon, where water exists not in air but in regolith ice. This edition replaces atmospheric harvesting with:
-
Regolith ice heating / microwave extraction
-
Condensate capture
-
Phoenix‑Water Engine‑2.0 purification
-
VMR Titan‑2.0 PFAS/microplastic destruction
-
Forgecell + CRFG‑1R thermal stabilization
-
Arachne‑Chip telemetry + CIFRS‑N dust logic
WH‑E5 Lunar Edition is a post‑extraction water conditioning engine, not an atmospheric harvester.
