Ion emitter system

An ion generator comprising:

• a high voltage source;
• a central body defining a central axis, the central body comprising:
• a primary conductive line electrically coupled to the high voltage source;
• and
• a first insulating covering surrounding the primary conductive line;
• and
• a plurality of arms extending from the central body, each arm in the plurality of arms comprising:
• an emitter array disposed at a distal end of the arm, relative to the central body;
• and
• a secondary conductive line electrically coupled to the primary conductive line at a proximal end of the arm, relative to the conductive body, and extending through the first insulating covering to the emitter array,
• wherein the plurality of arms is distributed about the central axis, such that:
• orientations of the emitter arrays of each of the plurality of arms relative are helically, spirally, and/or symmetrically distributed with respect to others of the plurality of arms, relative to the central axis;
• and
• connection of each of the plurality of arms to the central body are helically, spirally, and/or symmetrically distributed with respect to others of the plurality of arms, relative to the central axis;
• wherein all of the plurality of arms are distributed about the central axis such that the plurality of arms forms rows, with a first arm of a first row having a parallel orientation to a second arm of a second row.
