  • Corona discharge electrode and method of operating the same
    Patent number: 7157704
    Abstract: A method of operating a corona discharge device includes producing a high-intensity electric field in an immediate vicinity of at least one corona electrode and continuously or periodically heating the corona electrode to a temperature sufficient to mitigate an undesirable effect of an impurity, such as an oxide layer, formed on the corona electrode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2007
    Assignee: Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Igor A. Krichtafovitch, Jacob Oharah, John Thompson
  • Electrostatic fluid accelerator for and method of controlling a fluid flow
    Publication number: 20060226787
    Abstract: An electrostatic fluid accelerator includes an electrode array including an array of corona discharge electrodes and an array of accelerating electrodes. A detector is configured to sense a constituent component of the fluid as present in an output from the electrode array. A control circuit supplies power to the electrode array, the control circuit being responsive to an output from the detector for operating the electrode array responsive a level of the constituent component.
