A personal electro-kinetic electro-static air conditioner includes a self-contained ion generator that provides electro-kinetically moved air with ions and safe amounts of ozone, and includes a water retaining element to increase humidity of the output air flow. The ion generator includes a high voltage pulse generator whose output pulses are coupled between first and second electrode arrays. Preferably the first electrode array includes first and second pointed electrodes, and the second electrode array includes annular-like electrodes having a central opening coaxial with the associated pointed electrode. The surface of the annular-like electrodes is smooth and continuous through the opening and into a collar region through which the air flows. A water retaining member is disposed surrounding the output airflow to increase humidity of the output air, which is substantially cleansed of particulate matter, and contains safe amounts of ozone.

An electro-kinetic air conditioner for removing particulates from the air creates an airflow using no moving parts. The conditioner includes an ion generator that has an electrode assembly including a first array of emitter electrodes, a second array of collector electrodes, and a high voltage generator. Preferably, a third or leading or focus electrode is located upstream of the first array of emitter electrodes, and/or a trailing electrode is located downstream of the second array of collector electrodes. The device can also include an interstitial electrode located between collector electrodes, an enhanced collector electrode with an integrally formed trailing end, and an enhanced emitter electrode with an enhanced length in order to increase emissitivity.

An electrode cleaner for an electro-kinetic transporter-conditioner includes a mechanism to clean one or more the wire-like electrodes of a first electrode array. A length of flexible electrically insulating material projects from a base of a second electrode array towards and beyond the first electrode array. The distal end of the material includes a slit that engages a corresponding wire-like electrode. As a user moves the second electrode array up or down within the conditioner housing, friction between slit edges and the wire-like electrode cleans the electrode surface. The sheet material maybe biasedly pivotably attached to the base of the second electrode array, and may be urged away from and generally parallel to the wire-like electrodes when the conditioner is in use.
摘要:
An electro-kinetic electro-static air conditioner includes a mechanism to clean the wire-like electrodes in the first electrode array. A length of flexible Mylar type sheet material projects from the base of the second electrode array towards and beyond the first electrode array. The distal end of each sheet includes a slit that engages a corresponding wire-like electrode. As a user moves the second electrode array up or down within the conditioner housing, friction between slit edges and the wire-like electrode cleans the electrode surface. The sheet material may be biasedly pivotably attached to the base of the second electrode array, and may be urged away from and parallel to the wire-like electrodes when the conditioner is in use. Another embodiment includes a bead-like member having a through opening or channel, through which the wire-like electrode passes. As the conditioner is turned upside down and rightside up, friction between the opening in the bead-like member and wire-like electrode cleans the electrode surface. The bead-like member may be made of ceramic, glass, or even metal. The through channel may be symmetrically formed in the bead-like member, but preferably will be asymmetrical to create a mechanical moment and increased friction with the surface of the wire-like electrode being cleaned.
摘要:
Disclosed is a wind generating machine with no moving parts. A thin corona wire is located adjacent a wire mesh and a potential gradient of from 7,000 to 20,000 volts causes air to flow in a direction from the wire toward the mesh. The air flow is voltage sensitive. Several stages may be provided and the mesh may form part of a continuous belt. A rigid self-contained assembly is provided by physically connecting the wire and mesh. In other forms, a dielectric coated wire or a liquid, for example, water, is utilized in lieu of the thin corona wire.

A working fluid filtration and separation system that removes contaminants from a working fluid of a working machine. The system includes a vessel and an electrostatic collector mounted within the vessel which electrostatically removes contaminants from contaminated working fluid as it passes through the electrostatic collector element. The electrostatic collector element includes a plurality of concentric electrodes of different radii, a plurality of corrugated walls residing in spaces located between adjacent electrodes. An elongated center post electrode is provided that induces a voltage in at least one of the plurality of concentric electrodes. The system is configured to generate a voltage difference between each pair of adjacent concentric electrodes to electrostatically remove contaminants from the working fluid as it flows through the filtration and separation system. The system further includes a center post isolator that is configured to mount the center post isolator within the vessel and electrically insulate the center post electrode from the vessel.
