Abstract: An electrostatic atomizer electrostatically atomizes a fluid into a charged spray, wherein the charged spray includes a plurality of charged droplets. The electrostatic atomizer includes a chamber forming an inlet and an exit aperture, wherein the chamber is configured for fluid to flow into the chamber from the inlet and to flow out of the chamber from the aperture. An emitter electrode is in liquid contact with the fluid in the chamber and injects an electrical charge into the fluid in the chamber. An impedance circuit is coupled to the chamber and configured to obtain a voltage difference between the emitter electrode and the exit aperture, wherein the voltage difference is at least a minimum voltage threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly atomizing and dispensing electrostatically atomized insecticides and similar low electrical conductivity active materials without the use of VOCs. The active materials are dispensed via insertion of a disposable cartridge in a dispensing apparatus. The dispensing apparatus is hand actuated and the exhausted cartridge is minimized to the size of a wad of chewing gum and it is doubly sealed to prevent any residual active material from leaking into the environment. Spray flow and configuration may be user selectable.
