Air distributing and ionizing systems

A method of directing a flow of air to a surface to be cleaned comprising the steps of:

• 1) directing at least a portion of a flow of compressed air to a converter;
• 2) causing said compressed air flow to drive said converter;
• 3) said converter creating an alternating electric voltage;
• 4) directing the remainder of said flow of compressed air to an air distributor to create an air flow;
• 5) connecting said converter to an ionizing apparatus such that said voltage drives said ionizing apparatus creating an ion cloud;
• 6) positioning said ionizing apparatus such that said ion cloud is within the air flow path created by said air distributor;
• and
• 7) directing said air flow and said ion cloud to a surface to be cleaned.

An air amplifying and ionizing combination comprising:

• a plurality of air amplifying bodies, each being adapted to receive a source of relatively low volume compressed air, and create a relatively large volume air flow;
• an ionizing apparatus associated with each of said ionizing bodies for creating an ion cloud positioned in the large volume air flow created by said amplifying body;
• said compressed air being directed to said amplifying body, at least a portion of the air from said source of air passing through a converter on the way to said amplifying body, said converter being driven by the air flow portion;
• and
• said converter being operably connected to provide current to said ionizing apparatus upon being driven by the air flow portion, said ionizing apparatus in turn producing both positive and negatively charged ions.
