Abstract: An electro-hydrodynamic system that extracts energy from a gas stream, which includes an injector that injects a first species of particles having the same polarity into the gas stream, wherein particle movement with the gas stream is opposed by a first electric field; an electric field generator that generates a second electric field opposing the first, such that the net electric field at a predetermined distance downstream from the injector is approximately zero; an upstream collector that collects a second species of particles having a polarity opposite the first particle species; a downstream collector that collects the charged particle; and a load coupled between the downstream collector and the upstream collector, wherein the load converts the kinetic energy of the gas stream into electric power.

Abstract: A system for energy and particle extraction from an exhaust stream containing entrained particles, the system including an ionizer, a downstream collector, and an electrical couple. The ionizer is configured to charge the particles within the exhaust stream to a first charge polarity. The downstream collector is disposed downstream from the ionizer within the exhaust stream, and is configured to collect the charged particles. The electrical couple is configured to electrically couple a load between the ionizer and the downstream collector, wherein the load converts energy of the exhaust stream into electric power.

Abstract: A system for electro-hydrodynamically extracting energy from wind includes an upstream collector that is biased at an electric potential and induces an electric field. An injector introduces a particle into the electric field. The wind drag on the particle is at least partially opposed by a force of the electric field on the particle. A sensor monitors an ambient atmospheric condition, and a controller changes a parameter of the injector in response to a change in the atmospheric condition.
