Patent ID: 7371354

Claim:
An electro-kinetic air transporter and conditioner device, comprising: a micro-controller unit to produce a low voltage pulse signal; a DC power supply to receive an incoming AC voltage and produce a first DC voltage therefrom, the first DC voltage indicative of the incoming AC voltage; a step down circuit to step down the first DC voltage to a second DC voltage that can be monitored by the micro-controller unit without damaging the micro-controller unit, the second DC voltage also indicative of the incoming AC voltage; an electrode configuration including at least one emitter electrode and at least one collector electrode; and high voltage generator adapted to provide a potential difference between the at least one emitter electrode and the at least one collector electrode, wherein the high voltage generator is adapted to be driven by both (1) the first DC voltage produced by the DC power supply and (2) the low voltage pulse signal produced by the micro-controller unit; wherein the micro-controller unit is adapted to monitor the second DC voltage and adjust at least one of a pulse width, duty cycle and frequency of the low voltage pulse signal, based on the monitored second DC voltage, in order to substantially maintain the potential difference at a desired level.
