Ionic Air Flow Generator, With Emitter And Collector Stripes

An air flow system comprising:

• an ionic air flow generator comprising:
• a dielectric substrate having a first side and an opposing second side and an aperture through the dielectric substrate;
• a first conductor comprising an emitter with one or more emitter stripes, wherein each emitter stripe is suspended across the aperture in the dielectric substrate and has two ends deposited on and supported by the first side of the dielectric substrate;
• and
• a second conductor comprising a collector with multiple collector stripes, wherein each collector stripe is suspended across the aperture in the dielectric substrate and has two ends deposited on and supported by the opposing second side of the dielectric substrate;
• wherein the dielectric substrate maintains an air gap between the emitter and collector, and a voltage applied to the emitter ionizes air at the emitter and the ionized air is drawn to the collector thereby creating a flow of air through the air gap;
• and
• a controller that applies a voltage across the emitter and collector, wherein the applied voltage ionizes air at the emitter and the ionized air is drawn to the collector thereby creating a flow of air through the air gap.
