Abstract
The Bio‑Kinetic Vortex Sentry (BKVS) v3.2 (GCI #272) is a modular, battery‑free, open‑hardware research architecture for biomechanical sensing, microfluidic processing, and ultrasonic telemetry, intended solely for in‑silico and in‑vitro / ex‑vivo investigation under ethical oversight. BKVS integrates (i) µW‑scale biomechanical energy harvesting via Kirigami piezoelectric nanogenerators, adaptive PVDF‑TrFE meta‑material skins, and a self‑regenerative bio‑triboelectric buffer; (ii) an ex‑vivo acoustophoretic + J‑groove vortex microfluidic module combining acoustophoresis, electrostatic focusing, and low‑shear hydrodynamics for microplastic and protein‑aggregate separation; (iii) Dyneema‑reinforced microchannel scaffolds for acoustically addressable tissue engineering experiments; (iv) an ultrasonic interstitial fluid sensor with optional needle‑free mist delivery; and (v) secure pMUT‑based ultrasonic telemetry. Two core inventions form the fluid‑handling backbone: #18 J‑Groove Rifling, a microchannel wall geometry that generates stable helical secondary flow, and #77 Vortex‑Flow Dialysis, a membrane‑free spiral chamber enabling low‑shear, layer‑selective extraction. The system is augmented by an adaptive meta‑material skin for resonance tuning, a bio‑triboelectric energy buffer for ultra‑low‑leakage standby power, and an AI‑adaptive simulation framework (digital twin) for multiphysics co‑simulation and open reproducibility. BKVS v3.2 is released under the CERN‑OHL‑P (Public‑Good Research License) with no clinical use, no therapeutic claims, and no implied safety or efficacy. It is designed as a simulation‑first, modular, research‑only framework for qualified engineers and scientists to explore biomechanical energy harvesting, acoustofluidic separation, vortex‑based microfluidics, and ultrasonic intra‑body communication under proper regulatory and ethical oversight.
