Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating particles having the characteristics and mobility of free electrons. The particles may be dispersed into the environment around the apparatus without circulating air through the apparatus. A relatively high alternating voltage is applied between alternate spaced electrically conductive plates covered with a dielectric material which has high coefficients of secondary electron emission and sufficient dielectric strength to withstand the generation of a cold glow discharge or plasma between facing layers of the material.
