Abstract
Various components of a spraying system are provided. The spraying system may have a spraying module to accelerate a spray media toward a target and a controllable charging module to impart an electrostatic charge to the spray media. The electrostatic charge imparted to spray media may be changed over time by the controllable charging module. In this manner, characteristics of spray media in flight and arriving at a target may be controlled.
Claims20
A spraying system comprising:
- a spraying module configured to provide spray media and having a charging array;
- and
- a controllable charging module configured to electrically charge the charging array according to a driving waveform to electrostatically charge the spray media,
- wherein the controllable charging module selects a driving waveform to control at least one of a charge magnitude and a charge polarity of the spray media.
