Abstract:
A personal electro-kinetic air transporter-conditioner, comprising:a housing defining at least one vent; a self-contained ion generator, disposed within said housing, said ion generator producing an air flow that contains at least one of ions and ozone that flows electrostatically from said vent; and means for increasing humidity of said air flow, disposed in said housing; wherein said ion generator includes: a high voltage generator outputting a signal whose duty cycle may be varied from about 10% to about 100%; and an electrode assembly comprising a first electrode array effectively coupled to a first output port of said generator, and a second electrode array effectively coupled to a second output port of said generator, wherein one said output port may be at a same potential as ambient air; wherein particulate matter in ambient air is electrostatically attracted to said second electrode array, and wherein said ion generator further creates ozone that flows electrostatically from said vent.
