Abstract:We present here a new design of ion blower based on bipolar corona discharge of needledielectric-needle configuration. With the help of the dielectric plate, the new ion blower can endure higher voltage before spark than the traditional bipolar corona discharge, with the similar discharge characteristics and current-voltage curve. The high operating voltage provides a much greater ionic wind velocity compared with the traditional needle-to-needle corona. The neutral ionic wind can reach as far as 0.45m with a … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
