Electrode self-cleaning mechanism for electro-kinetic air transporter-conditioner devices

An apparatus for conditioning air, comprising:

• a vertically elongated housing;
• at first electrode array including at least two vertical wire-shaped emitter electrodes, disposed in said housing;
• a second electrode array including at least one collector electrode removably disposed in said housing;
• a voltage generator coupled between the first electrode array and second electrode array;
• and
• an electrode cleaning mechanism adapted to fictionally remove debris from said wire-shaped emitter electrodes as said electrode cleaning mechanism is moved along the emitter electrode when said housing is rotated from an original position.

An apparatus for conditioning air, comprising:

• a housing including a base adapted to support said housing in an upright position;
• an emitter electrode, disposed in said housing;
• a collector electrode, disposed in said housing;
• a voltage generator coupled between the emitter electrode and collector electrode;
• and
• an electrode cleaning mechanism adapted to move along the emitter electrode, when said housing is turned generally up-side down, to thereby fictionally remove debris from said emitter electrode.
