Abstract
In an electric field curtain system, a plurality of linear electrodes are embedded in an insulator layer in parallel to each other along the surface of said insulator layer so that silent discharge forming curved electric lines of force which are outwardly convex may be produced on the surface of said insulator layer, the width of each of said plurality of linear electrodes is chosen equal to or less than 3 mm, and the interval between the respective linear electrodes is selected within a limited range, whereby every charged particle may be floated away from the surface of the insulator layer so as not remain on said surface.

A thin wire type of electric field curtain system including a plurality of linear electrodes embedded in an insulator layer in parallel to each other along the surface of said insulator layer wherein said system comprises silent discharge means including power supply means coupled to said linear electrodes for providing curved electric lines of force which extend outwardly in a convex pattern from the surface of said insulator layer, and wherein the width of each of said plurality of linear electrodes is chosen equal to or less than 3 mm.
An electric field curtain system, in which a plurality of linear electrodes arrayed in parallel to each other are embedded in an insulator layer having a flat surface along said flat surface at a substantially fixed depth C and at substantially equal intervals B, and A.C. high voltage source coupled across adjacent electrodes so that a silent discharge is produced in the gas along the surface of said insulator layer, characterized in that the width of each of said linear electrodes is equal to or less than 3 mm,, and the ratio B/C of said equal interval B to said depth C is chosen in the range 3 - 30.
An electric field curtain system, in which a plurality of linear electrodes arrayed in parallel to each other are embedded in an insulator layer at or near its surface so as to maintain flatness of the surface layer at substantially equal intervals B, and in which there is provided a planar electrode spaced from said surface of the insulator layer and substantially in parallel to said surface of said insulator layer at a fixed distance D from said linear electrodes, an A.C. high voltage source coupled across adjacent linear electrodes so that a silent discharge is produced in the gas along said surface of said insulator layer, characterized in that the width of each of said linear electrodes is equal to or less than 3 mm, and the ratio B/D of said equal interval B to said fixed distance D is chosen in the range of 0.5 - 16.
