A three-dimensional multi-pod windblown particle control device is used to
control the deposition, accumulation and retention of windblown
particles. The multi-pod device is formed by connecting beams to create
legs which intersect one another at a crossing area. The ends of some of
the legs contact the earth surface to support the device while the ends
of the other legs extend in three dimensions to interact with the wind.
The device may be formed by substantially identical X-shaped frame
structures which intersect and connect with one another. The optimal
spacing for using the devices in an array is within a range of
approximately 0.5 1.5 of a transverse dimension across the surface area
occupied by each particle control device.
