Abstract
A method of converting an audio signal into vibratory modulation of a fluid includes converting a series of pulses representative of the audio signal into a plurality of signals having an intermediate peak-to-peak voltage; summing said signals having said intermediate voltage to provide a driver signal having a high peak-to-peak voltage; supplying said driver signal to an electrostatic fluid accelerator; and generating a corona discharge inducing said vibratory modulation of said fluid.

A method of converting an audio signal into vibratory modulation of a fluid comprising the steps of:
- converting a series of pulses representative of the audio signal into a plurality of signals having an intermediate peak-to-peak voltage;
- summing said signals having said intermediate voltage to provide a driver signal having a high peak-to-peak voltage;
- supplying said driver signal to an electrostatic fluid accelerator;
- and
- generating a corona discharge inducing said vibratory modulation of said fluid.
A method of converting an audio signal into vibratory modulation of a fluid comprising the steps of:
- partitioning the audio signal into low-frequency and high-frequency constituent signals;
- multiplying an input voltage to provide a first high voltage;
- modulating said first high voltage with said low-frequency constituent signal to provide a low-frequency high voltage;
- transforming said input voltage to provide a second high voltage;
- modulating said second high voltage with said high-frequency constituent signal to provide a high-frequency high voltage;
- combining said low-frequency and said high-frequency high voltage to provide a high voltage output;
- supplying said high voltage output to an electrostatic fluid accelerator (EFA);
- and
- modulating a fluid with said electrostatic fluid accelerator.
