  • Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator for Controlling a Fluid Flow
    Publication number: 20120043891
    Abstract: An electrostatic fluid accelerator includes an electrode array comprising a corona discharge electrode and an array of accelerating electrodes for moving a fluid. A control circuit supplies power to the electrode array including control of a corona discharge voltage and a heating current to cause the corona discharge electrode to vibrate. The control circuit also controls heating of heating elements and can operate the electrostatic fluid accelerator in response to an detection of a constituent of the fluid.

  • Electrostatic fluid accelerator for controlling a fluid flow
    Patent number: 8049426
    Abstract: An electrostatic fluid accelerator includes an electrode array comprising an array of corona discharge electrodes and an array of accelerating electrodes for moving a fluid. A detector is configured to sense a constituent component of the fluid. A control circuit supplies power to the electrode array and operates the electrostatic fluid accelerator in response to an output from the detector.

  • Method of controlling a fluid flow
    Patent number: 7410532
    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.
