8 results about "Plasma actuator" patented technology

Plasma actuators are a type of actuator currently being developed for aerodynamic flow control. Plasma actuators impart force in a similar way to ionocraft. The working of these actuators is based on the formation of a low-temperature plasma between a pair of asymmetric electrodes by application of a high-voltage AC signal across the electrodes. Consequently, air molecules from the air surrounding the electrodes are ionized, and are accelerated through the electric field.

PCT designated stageWO2026017232A1Solar heating energyElectrostatic cleaningPlasma actuatorIon wind
The invention relates to a device for cleaning solar panels (1), the principle of which is based on an ionic wind combined with an electrostatic force which are applied simultaneously to the dust particles. The device consists of a plasma actuator attached to a wheeled vehicle (9) on the surface of the panel (1). The plasma actuator comprises three electrodes: an ionising electrode (2), an earthed electrode (3) and a static electrode (4). Both the ionising electrode (2) and the static electrode (4) are supplied with the same electric voltage of about twenty kilovolts. The static electrode (4) is a cylindrical tube that applies an electric field so as to detach the dust particles from the surface of the panel (1) by means of an electric attractive force. The assembly made up of the ionising electrode (2) and the earthed electrode (3) produces an ionic wind that easily cleans the dust particles previously lifted by the static electrode (4).
