Claim 10:
11. A method of decontaminating an air stream, said method comprising the steps of:
receiving said air stream in a housing or duct;
causing turbulence in said air stream by a turbulence generator to provide a turbulent air stream in proximity to an inlet;
applying electromagnetic energy by a decontamination energy generator to said turbulent air steam after entering said inlet either during or after said causing step to provide a decontaminated air stream; and
moderating said modulated and decontaminated air stream inside said housing to provide a linear or laminar airflow after said applying step before entering an outlet and thereafter causing said linear or laminar airflow exiting said housing or duct;
wherein said moderating step is performed using an air moderator comprising a linear or laminar air stream generator for receiving said turbulent air stream and for generating said linear or laminar air stream in response thereto;
wherein said linear or laminar air stream generator generates said linear air stream during or after said decontamination energy generator applies electromagnetic energy to said turbulent air stream;
wherein said linear or laminar air stream generator comprises at least one of air channels, baffles, walls, perforations, cylinders, ducts, louvers, valves grilles, wings, flaps grids, grates, wires or foils, to reduce turbulence in said decontaminated air stream;
wherein said decontamination energy generator is situation between said turbulence generator and said air moderator;
wherein said air moderator is situation inside said housing or duct and between said inlet and said outlet and is exposed to said electromagnetic energy from said decontamination energy generator.
