Abstract: Various components of a spraying system are provided. The spraying system may have a spraying module to accelerate a spray media toward a target and a controllable charging module to impart an electrostatic charge to the spray media. The electrostatic charge imparted to spray media may be changed over time by the controllable charging module. In this manner, characteristics of spray media in flight and arriving at a target may be controlled.

Abstract: An electrostatic spray system, comprising a hand held device having an inlet and an outlet. The hand held device includes a charging device for producing a high voltage charging field and a spray nozzle having an outlet, the outlet being disposed within the charging field. The system further includes an air movement system disposed within the hand held device, the air movement system configured to produce an airflow around the spray nozzle and through the high voltage charging field to create a directionally controllable electrostatic charged mist existing the hand held device at low velocities.
