Method and apparatus for an ionized air blower

An ionized air blower comprising:

• a fan configured to generate airflow toward a target surface;
• an ionizer configured to produce positive ions and negative ions in the airflow;
• and
• control circuitry configured to control one or both of:
• a speed of the airflow from the blower;
• ionization of the airflow, wherein the ionization is performed by a selected one of:
• ion imbalanced mode, or
• ion balanced mode;
• and
• a control station configured to receive the detected surface charge via one of a wireless connection or a wired connection.

An ionized air blower comprising:

• a human-machine interface (HMI);
• a fan configured to generate airflow toward a target surface;
• an ionizer configured to produce a ratio of positive ions to negative ions within the airflow where the ratio can be adjusted via the HMI;
• a sensor configured to determine a surface charge present on the target surface;
• control circuitry configured to:
• control a speed of the airflow from the blower;
• and
• control the ionizer to adjust the ratio of the positive ions to the negative ions based on the surface charge detected by the sensor;
• and
• a control station configured to receive the detected surface charge via one of a wireless connection or a wired connection.
