ABSTRACT:
A device for eliminating static charge, dust and lint from surfaces by forced convection of electrically ionized air or gas. The device utilizes high voltage direct current and forced convection sources to ionize the air or gas into separate positive and negative flows which are joined into concentric interlaced helical streams in a rotating vortex forming chamber. The rotating streams exit the device into the adjacent atmosphere, whereupon coming in contact with a statically charged surface, they cause the neutralization of the static charge by the alternate passage of the streams of positive and negative ionized air or gas over that surface. The device may also incorporate high velocity jets to additionally convect away dust and lint adhering to a surface.
