Problems solved by technology

Also, Lee's system does not alter the humidity in the output air stream and cannot be fabricated in a small form factor such as a handheld
[0010] Although Lee's system can be used indoors, it is not suitable for portable use, such as in a relatively confined space such as a car or airplane seat.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Figure 2A A preferred embodiment of an electric air conveyor-regulator system 100 is shown suspended from the user's neck by elastic strap 101 . System 100 is formed within housing 102, which is preferably made of a lightweight and easily moldable material, such as ABS plastic. The housing 102 includes an ambient air inlet 104 and at least one, and preferably two output or exhaust ports 106 . Ambient air enters through the air inlet 104 and exits through the outlet 106, preferably having a relatively high humidity and having had some particulate matter (such as dust) removed from the ambient air, and with a safe amount of ozone (O 3 ). Housing 102 contains an ionizer 160 powered by a battery source B1 also disposed within the housing. The ionizer 106 is self-contained since nothing other than the conveyor housing is required during the operation of the invention, other than ambient air. Figure 2B Display the system 100 installed on or in the car, for example with ...

Abstract

A personal electro-kinetic electrostatic air conditioner includes a self-contained ion generator that provides electro-kinetically moved air with ions and safe amounts of ozone, and includes a water retaining element to increase humidity of the output air flow. The ion generator includes a high voltage pulse generator whose output pulses are coupled between first and second electrode arrays. Preferably the first electrode array includes first and second pointed electrodes, and the second electrode array includes annular-like electrodes having a central opening coaxial with the associated pointed electrode. The surface of the annular-like electrodes is smooth and continuous through the opening and into a collar region through which the air flows. A water retaining member is disposed surrounding the output airflow to increase humidity of the output air, which is substantially cleansed of particulate matter, and contains safe amounts of ozone.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of the applicant's US copending application 09 / 18647-1, filed November 5, 1998, entitled Electric Air Conveyor-Regulator Application. technical field [0002] This invention relates to the electrokinetic conversion of electrical energy into a fluid flow of an ionized dielectric medium in which is formed an electrokinetic flow of air comprising a safe amount of ozone from which particulate matter has been removed, and is particularly concerned with Portable use of this unit is used in enclosed areas where some degree of humidity control is desirable. Background technique [0003] The use of electric motors to rotate fan blades to obtain air flow has long been known in the art. Unfortunately, such fans can produce considerable noise and pose a hazard to children attempting to insert fingers or pencils into the moving fan blades. Although such a fan can produce eg 1000ft 3 A large amou...
