Method for controlling an ionic wind generator

A method for controlling an ionic wind generator,

• the ionic wind generator comprising:
• an electrode body, an AC power source, and a DC power source, wherein
• the electrode body has a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, a third electrode layer, and a dielectric layer,
• the AC power source is connected between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, whereby a voltage can be applied between these electrode layers,
• the DC power source is connected between the second electrode layer and the third electrode layer, whereby a voltage can be applied between these electrode layers,
• the first and third electrode layers are arranged on a portion of a surface of the dielectric layer, opposite to one another and substantially parallel with one another
• the distance between the first electrode layer and the third electrode layer is 11 to 35 mm,
• the second electrode layer is arranged on a portion of the other surface of the dielectric layer,
• such that when a voltage is applied between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer by the AC power source, and a voltage is applied between the second electrode layer and the third electrode layer by the DC power source, an ionic wind can be generated in a direction away from the dielectric layer,
• an AC voltage applied between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer by the AC power source is set to 6 to 20 kVpp, and
• a DC voltage applied between the second electrode layer and the third electrode layer by the DC power source is set to 6 to 20 kV.
