Fire Flood Digital Sureface Manipulation System 22 08 22 DESCRIPTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel invention a Mobile, intelligent digital machine learning, autonomous delivery system, for the creation of desired and localized target-based object surface environment manipulation, as well as subsurface manipulation, It comprises of multiple separate scientifically engineered enclosures, each enclosure carries out specific actions, such as creating an thermal barrier, removing problematic gaseous environments within the target enclosure through purging targeted enclosure without hindering the desired environment in the other outer enclosures, particle filters attached to the sides of the inner enclosure located at specific heights, allow for decontamination of the expelled air in an effort to reduce cross contamination of the other enclosures, in addition to other scientific purposes such as removing stagnated pockets of air, creating superior balanced desired environmental conditions. BACKGROUND This invention relates to a novel innovation for the purposes of reducing consequential damage not limited to vehicles and electromechanical machinery following events such has fires or floods or both. For example, in the aftermath of a flood, vehicle sales forecourts and storage areas can become flooded, leading to hundreds of flood damaged vehicles. Once the flood waters have receded, a very small window of opportunity remains within which the damage to the vehicles can be limited. However, it is usually impossible to take advantage of this opportunity because of many restrictive factors. Such has the impracticalities involved in simultaneously removing hundreds of vehicles rapidly from the loss site within this small window of opportunity. This situation is further exacerbated by restrictive constraints such as the vehicles battery being disconnected to avoid further damage and the vehicle. Also, another restrictive constraint is that the vehicle engine must not be started. These constraints make it difficult for the vehicles to be loaded on to transporter trailers for removal for example. This situation is even worse in the case of vehicles with automatic gearboxes. Vehicle engines, gearboxes and electrical systems can be severely damaged should they be started or engaged whilst in this condition hence it is imperative that they are not powered up. This invention allows for a rapid deployment loss mitigation method which can be applied on mass scale without having to power the vehicle or to move it from the loss site. This invention creates and maintains a stable environment that is ideal for drying furthermore it can constantly adjust the equipment and the subsequent internal atmosphere to counteract the negative effects of the outside environments which otherwise would hinder the drying and stabilisation process within the module. This invention can also deliver optimum conditions within the modules required for the purposes of reducing consequential damage to vehicles following fire or flood contamination through its ability 22 08 22 to carry autonomous actions without the need for human intervention and on a scale (multiple modules) faster than a human can. The present invention relates to a novel innovation which combines the use of enclosed modules and real-time monitoring application with embedded analytics telemetry, anomaly detection, predictive analytics providing autonomous actions or human instructions for the purposes of creating optimum conditions within the modules for the reduction of consequential damage resulting from fire or flood and other contamination subjected too but not limited to vehicles and electro-mechanical machinery. This invention provides a rapid deployment loss mitigation method which can be applied on mass scale without having to power the vehicle or to move the vehicles of site. The present invention uses three flexible modules one of which is inflatable making it ideal for quick deployment within minutes to create a tent like structure large enough to place vehicles inside, the modules can be sealed to make airtight with controlled balancing of the dry air entering the module and moist air exhausting the modules. The present invention uses a novel technique which allows the moisture laden warm air being roved from the module which allows the latent heat to dissipate within the inside of the outer module figure 1 (2) termed the outer thermal cover. Whilst the obvious choose of dehumidifier types would be a desicant type dehumidifier as opposed to a refrigerant type of dehumidifier simply because a refrigerant dehumidifier would not work because of the cold environment typical in these situations outdoors. And given that floods occur more frequently in storm conditions. The desicant dehumidifier is not a total solution not only because it will have to work harder in the colder conditions. This has a burden on the regeneration wheel resulting in the potential for premature failure. The regeneration wheel is a key component of the descant dehumidifier. The present invention uses several novel techniques including benefits gained by the introduction of outer thermal module figure 1 (2) which when combined with other key features of this invention, reduces the burden on drying equipment and heating equipment such as the desicant dehumidifier, creating a unique and more efficient drying system, purging system, decontamination system, corrosion retarding system, as well as all the other key components necessary for the purposes of rapid response loss mitigation of fire or flood damaged vehicles or machinery and contents. The present invention uses a novel technique harnessing the use of available air to provide quantified levels of negative or positive air pressure, using algorithms, providing, when necessary, a pull effect gained by this process which can be directed to the inner filter module figure 1 (4) where the vehicle is enclosed. This novel technique allows for trapped and bonded moisture molecules deep within hygroscopic material to be pulled closer to the surface where it can be evaporated and removed more easily and quickly, thus using less energy whilst reducing the burden on drying equipment and reducing time that bacteria and other microorganism are able to multiply and for viral contamination and mould spores to flourish. Ordinary without this innovation attempts to dry or stabilize a flood damaged vehicle using drying equipment, heating equipment, dry air to wet air exchange within large enclosures as needed in the case of a vehicle would be too slow in achieving acceptable relative humidity levels, given the large 22 08 22 volume of air over time which needs to be moved. Especially since so much water needs to be drawn out electronics components, voids and crevices and hygroscopic materials. Increasing heat to draw out moisture comes with obvious problems when dealing with vehicles not limited to the degradation of leather and plastic surfaces, fuel and other organic vapor presence, vaporizing water in light clusters and electronics then into the surrounding air within the casing without removal is also future problem not least because of the issue of condensation once the vehicle is taken out of the heated module. This present invention can adjust the environmental protection and loss mitigation settings within the enclosure which is best suited to the type of incident that has caused the initial damage. For example, a fire or a flood. This is very important because protection methods are different for each. Fire environment different to water environment. The present invention relates to a novel innovation which combines the use of enclosed modules and real-time monitoring application with embedded analytics telemetry, anomaly detection, predictive analytics providing autonomous actions or human instructions for the purposes of creating optimum conditions within the modules for the reduction of consequential damage resulting from fire or flood and other contamination subjected too but not limited to vehicles and electro-mechanical machinery. A Thermal fogger is used to convert liquid chemicals into very small droplets which can even get as small as 0.5 micron in diameter. Because of the small droplet size, a higher spray density of tiny droplets can be achieved. However, it is a problem to achieve the same results inside of an enclosure because many factors can have adverse effects on this application rendering the droplet size to increase in diameter far beyond that which is intended. This results in a deficiency in efficacy of the chemical. This innovation has considered the causation and consequences such as detrimental temperature ranges, air pressure, size and volume of enclosure, hysteresis. This innovation novel approach to control these factors, makes it possible to achieve good dwell time of fogged chemicals, desired droplet size and a vast improvement in the efficacy of the chemical being atomised. This is particularly important in the case of electric vehicles as this invention through its innovations shown in Figure 1 (1-17), Figure 2 (18-25), Figure 3 (26-35), Figure 4 (36-46), Figure 5 (47-61), Figure 6 (6268), Figure 7(69-72), Figure 8 (73-100) and Figure 9 (101-104) provides the necessary novel measures which when combined form an ideal environment to reduce consequential damage resulting from fire or flood, such has copper attack, corrosion particularly on electronics and other forms of degrative damage associated with fire or flood damage. Another novel feature of this invention allows for isolation and decontamination of items, plant machinery which has been subjected to other forms of contamination such as those in the case of pandemics. Vehicle subjected to flood or fire, need to be isolated and dried as soon as possible before mould or corrosion or both takes hold. By simply placing a vehicle in a tent like enclosure and adding dehumidification is not enough on its own. Not only because of and not limited to the outdoor environment conditions impacting on the tent structure and subsequently the interior environmental conditions of the tent like structure. For example, if it is a cold day with low temperatures this would result in an increase of efforts made by the dehumidification equipment to 22 08 22 combat the negative effects caused by the outside conditions. This causes more power to be used to run the equipment at a higher setting which also puts a strain on the equipment as well as increasing the burden on power sources and fuel consumption. This then has a further impact on pollution levels as well as depleting the worlds precious resources. This innovation uses an outer thermal enclosure as shown in Figure 1 (2) which is independent of the other two enclosures figure 1(3) and figure 1 (4), it retains the heat gathered from sunlight and slowly releases it into its inner layer creating a heat blanket effect between the outside colder temperature and the inner inflatable enclosure. Latent heat exiting the enclosures is used to create an even continues warm air barrier, which also creates another barrier against the outside colder air. Whilst this novel technique uses no extra power instead makes use of the air exchange used by the dehumidifier. The present invention relates to a novel technique which makes it possible to purge the inner filter module figure 1 (4) Another problem that this innovation solves, involves the novel introduction of 3 independent particle, gas and air filter filtration units figure 1 (12) figure 1 (14) and figure 1 (15) of contaminates which ordinarily will scatter throughout the tent like structure and travel through minuet openings and voids into deeper crevices of the vehicle. Hampering the likelihood of successful decantation outcomes. Furthermore, these toxic spores such as carbon residue from fire damage situations to viral and mould spores resulting from flood damage situations will not only lodge in the vehicle but also into the intake of the exhaust ports of the dehumidifier contaminating and spreading contaminants even further as well as causing premature blockage of particle filters and the tent like structure. These Containments can also become embedded in the tent like structure and missed by cleaning the structure after use. It is only when the structure is being folded for transport then opened for use that the toxic contaminants be it asbestos fibres, fire carbon residue, mould spores can then loosen and become dislodged potentially being inhaled by unsuspecting technicians and cause cross contamination. This and other problems are solved by this innovation's introduction and use of three independent particle, gas and air filter filtration units figure 1 (12) figure 1 (14) and figure 1 (15). They are referred to as independent because each works independently of the other creating ideal drying conditions thus reducing workloads put on drying equipment, whilst providing particle filtration, air pressure control, reduction in volume which contributes to more precise favourable conditions which also results in a better efficacy of chemical use. Sensors placed between the modules figure 1 (9) (10) (11) and sensors placed in the vehicle figure 1 (6) constantly gathers information an algorithm determines the most efficient settings of the filters, resulting in the most significant settings for the purposes of stabilising the degradation effect upon the vehicle or items placed within the module. Not least by allowing for the filter as in each case determined by the placement of the filter High, Midway, Bottom of the module. In the case of a higher place filter releasing lighter particulate, lighter air, lighter vapours, gases, warm air which are typically found at the highest point of an enclosure, as they will stay suspended in the air for longer periods of time. Another befit of this innovation is that lighter matter is more likely to escape using this innovative method as opposed being captured and removed using conventional floor mounted equipment. E.g., dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, etc Independent Particle and gas filter mounted in a mid-point section of the filter module fig (4) By using this innovative method this mid-point filter is highly efficient in filtering / releasing / removing slightly heavier than above but lighter than below stagnated particulate, air / molecules, vapours, gases, moist air which is typically found at this mid-section of an enclosure. Independent Particle and gas filter mounted at the bottom section of the filter module fig (4) By using this innovative method this low-point filter is highly efficient in filtering / releasing / removing heavier particulate, air / molecules, vapours, gases, moist air which is typically found at this low-section of an enclosure. Isolated control room, esd protected used for housing sensor processing units, data storage display units and electro-mechanical equipment. Also allows for manual monitoring and control without opening the inner main inflatable module fig (3). Hence without disturbing the controlled atmosphere within fig (3) inner main inflatable module, this allows for perfect control of pressure disturbances and the loss off controlled drying environment. This novel method also prevents the workmen / technicians from exposure to harmful chemicals and other sources of contamination which will be present in the vehicle and its surrounding environment. 22 08 22 22 08 22 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 (1-17) 1.

Claimé The present invention uses a novel technique which allows the moisture laden warm air being roved from the module which allows the latent heat to dissipate within the inside of the outer module figure 1 (2) termed the outer thermal cover. Claim 7 The present invention uses several novel techniques including benefits gained by the introduction of outer thermal module figure 1 (2) which when combined with other key features of this invention, reduces the burden on drying equipment and heating equipment such as the desicant dehumidifier, creating a unique and more efficient drying system, purging system, decontamination system, corrosion retarding system, as well as all the other key components necessary for the purposes of rapid response loss mitigation of fire or flood damaged vehicles or machinery and contents.

Claim 10 This present invention can adjust the environmental protection and loss mitigation settings within the enclosure which is best suited to the type of incident that has caused the initial damage. For example, a fire or a flood. This is very important because protection methods are different for each. Fire environment different to water environment.

Claim 2 This invention as claimed in claim 1 further comprises of an outer thermal module figure 1(2) is used in conjunction with an inner main inflatable module figure 1 (3) in conjunction with a filter module figure 1 (4) in conjunction with Figure 1 (1-17), Figure 2 (18-25), Figure 3 (26-35), Figure 4 (36-46), Figure 5 (47-61), Figure 6 (62-68), Figure 7(69-72), Figure 8 (73-100) and Figure 9 (101-104) to create and maintains a stable environment that is ideal for drying furthermore it can robotically constantly adjust the equipment and the subsequent internal atmosphere to counteract the negative effects of the outside environments which otherwise would hinder the drying and stabilisation process within the module. Claim3 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 2 further comprises of an Isolated airtight control room figure 1 (16), provides esd protection used for housing sensor processing units, data storage display units and electro-mechanical equipment. Also allows for manual monitoring and control without opening the inner main inflatable module fig (3). Hence without disturbing the controlled atmosphere within fig (3) inner main inflatable module, this allows for perfect control of pressure disturbances and the loss off controlled drying environment, these novel methods also prevent the workmen / technicians from exposure to harmful chemicals and other sources of contamination which will be present in the vehicle and its surrounding environment. Fire Flood Digital Surface Manipulation System GB2100774.5 Claimé4 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 3 further comprises of an innovation delivering optimum conditions within the modules required for the purposes of reducing consequential damage to vehicles following fire or flood contamination through its ability to carry autonomous actions without the need for human intervention and on a large scale with multiple modules figure 9 (101 — 104) faster than a human can. Furthermore, this invention provides a rapid deployment loss mitigation method which can be applied on mass scale (hundreds of vehicles or items) without having to power the vehicle or to move the vehicles or items of site figure 9 (101 — 104). The present invention uses three flexible modules one of which is inflatable making it ideal for quick deployment within minutes to create a tent like structure large enough to place vehicles inside, the modules can be sealed to make airtight with controlled balancing of the dry air entering the module and moist air exhausting the modules. Claims This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 4 further comprises of a novel innovation enclosed modules and real-time monitoring application with embedded analytics telemetry, anomaly detection, predictive analytics providing autonomous actions without the need for human instructions for the purposes of creating optimum conditions within the modules for the reduction of consequential damage resulting from fire or flood and other contamination subjected too but not limited to vehicles, contents and electro-mechanical machinery. Claim é This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 5 further comprises of a novel technique which allows the waste heat produced from dehumidifiers to dissipate within the inside of the outer module figure 1 (2) termed the outer thermal cover. Providing a secondary use for the waste heat in creating a thermal barrier which is essential particularly when the outside environmental temperature is cold, on snowy conditions or at night when the temperature drops for example. Claim 7 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 6 further comprises of several novel techniques including benefits gained by the introduction of outer thermal module figure 1 (2) which when combined with other key features of this invention, reduces the burden on drying equipment and heating equipment such as the desicant dehumidifier, creating a unique and more efficient drying system, purging system, decontamination system, corrosion retarding system, as well as all the other key components necessary for the purposes of rapid response loss mitigation of fire or flood damaged vehicles or machinery and contents. Claim 8 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 7 further comprises of a novel technique harnessing the use of available air to provide quantified levels of negative or positive air pressure, using algorithms, providing when necessary, a pull effect(suction effect on the sub surface of the target drawing bound moisture molecules to the surface where they can then be heated and removed more easily through evaporation) this process can be directed to the inner filter module figure 1 (4) where the vehicle or machinery and contents are enclosed. Fire Flood Digital Surface Manipulation System GB2100774.5 Claim9 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 8 further comprises of a novel technique allows for trapped and bound moisture molecules deep within hygroscopic material to be pulled closer to the surface where they can be evaporated and removed more easily and quickly, thus using less energy whilst reducing the burden on drying equipment and reducing time that bacteria and other microorganisms attach to the surface and are able to multiply and for viral contamination and mould spores to flourish. Ordinary without this innovation attempts to dry or stabilize a flood damaged vehicle using drying equipment, heating equipment, dry air to wet air exchange within large enclosures as needed in the case of a vehicle would be too slow in achieving acceptable relative humidity levels, given the large volume of air over time which needs to be moved. Especially since so much water needs to be drawn out electronics components, voids and crevices and hygroscopic materials. Increasing heat to draw out moisture comes with obvious problems when dealing with vehicles not limited to the degradation of leather and plastic surfaces, fuel and other organic vapor presence, vaporizing water in light clusters and electronics then into the surrounding air within the casing without removal is also future problem not least because of the issue of condensation once the vehicle is taken out of the heated module. Claim 10 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 9 further comprises of an invention can adjust the environmental protection and loss mitigation settings within the enclosure which is best suited to the type of incident that has caused the initial damage. For example, a fire or a flood. This is very important because protection methods are different for each. Fire environment different to water environment. Claim 11 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 10 further comprises of a novel innovation which combines the use of enclosed modules and real-time monitoring application with embedded analytics telemetry, anomaly detection, predictive analytics providing autonomous actions or human instructions for the purposes of creating optimum conditions within the modules for the reduction of consequential damage resulting from fire or flood and other contamination subjected too but not limited to vehicles and electro-mechanical machinery. Claim 12 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 11 has considered the causation and consequences such as detrimental temperature ranges, air pressure, size and volume of enclosure, hysteresis. This innovation novel approach to control these factors, makes it possible to achieve good dwell time of fogged chemicals, desired droplet size and a vast improvement in the efficacy of the chemical being atomised. This is particularly important in the case of electric vehicles as this invention through its innovations shown in Figure 1 (1-17), Figure 2 (18-25), Figure 3 (26-35), Figure 4 (36-46), Figure 5 (47-61), Figure 6 (62-68), Figure 7(69-72), Figure 8 (73-100) and Figure 9 (101-104) provides the necessary novel measures which when combined forms an ideal environment to reduce consequential damage resulting from fire or flood, such has copper attack, corrosion particularly on electronics and other forms of degrative damage associated with fire or flood damage. Fire Flood Digital Surface Manipulation System GB2100774.5 Claim 13 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 12 provides isolation and decontamination of items, plant machinery which has been subjected to other forms of contamination such as those in the case of pandemics. Claim 14 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 13 provides an outer thermal enclosure as shown in Figure 1 (2) which is independent of the other two enclosures figure 1(3) and figure 1 (4), it retains the heat gathered from sunlight and slowly releases it into its inner layer creating a heat blanket effect between the outside colder temperature and the inner inflatable enclosure. Latent heat exiting the enclosures is used to create an even continues warm air barrier, which also creates another barrier against the outside colder air. Claim 15 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 14 makes use of the waste air and waste heat generated by the dehumidification equipment such as a dehumidifier. Claim 16 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 15 further comprises of a novel feature which makes it possible to purge the inner filter module figure 1 (4) Claim17 This invention as claimed in claims 1 to 16 further comprises of features which solves consequential problems as would ordinarily be the case. This solution as claimed in invention claims 1 to 16, involves the novel introduction of 3 independent particle, gas and air filter filtration units figure 1 (12) figure 1 (14) and figure 1 (15) of contaminates which ordinarily will scatter throughout the tent like structure and travel through minuet openings and voids into deeper crevices of the vehicle. Hampering the likelihood of successful decantation outcomes. Furthermore, these toxic spores such as carbon residue from fire damage situations to viral and mould spores resulting from flood damage situations will not only lodge in the vehicle but also into the intake of the exhaust ports of the dehumidifier contaminating and spreading contaminants even further as well as causing premature blockage of particle filters and the tent like structure. These Containments can also become embedded in the tent like structure and missed by cleaning the structure after use. It is only when the structure is being folded for transport then opened for use that the toxic contaminants be it asbestos fibres, fire carbon residue, mould spores can then loosen and become dislodged potentially being inhaled by unsuspecting technicians and cause cross contamination. This and other problems are solved by this innovation’s introduction and use of three independent particle, gas and air filter filtration units figure 1 (12) figure 1 (14) and figure 1 (15). They are referred to as independent because each works independently of the other creating ideal drying conditions thus reducing workloads put on drying equipment, whilst providing particle filtration, air pressure control, reduction in volume which contributes to more precise favourable conditions which also results in a better efficacy of chemical use.
