摘要: An ion-driven gas flow is characterized by the breakdown of a into ions in presence high electric potential. Ions due to potential gradient. Mass transfer motivates bulk airflow. In current study, an ionic air moving device was constructed using needles as ion sources, and ring collector. Airflow efficiency were evaluated at various widths with numbers ionization sites. Efficiency seen increase width if airflow distance held constant also increased number sites when constant.
