SAFETY - ION GENERATORS MUST BE SAFE IN ORDER TO BE SOLD IN THE UNITEDCHECK FOR SAFETY WARNINGS ON YOUR ION GENERATOR BEFORE USING IT IN THIS APPLICATION. ALSO, NOTE THAT THIS TYPE OF GENERATOR CAN DELIVER SMALL "STATIC ELECTRIC" SHOCKS. THERE ARE OTHER HAZARDS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT: 1. NEVER REMOVE THE CASE OF AN ION GENERATOR OR STICK ANY OBJECT THROUGH SLOTS IN THE CASE, BECAUSE THE 120V POWER CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE DEVICE CAN ELECTROCUTE YOU. 2. DON'T MESS WITH IONIZING FAN-TYPE APPLIANCES. CONNECTIONS ARE BURIED DOWN INSIDE THE CASE, AND ARE DANGEROUS AND NOT INTENDED TO BE TOUCHED WITH FINGERS. STAY WITH SMALL, SAFE, DESKTOP/ TABLETOP ION GENERATORS. 3. NEVER PLAY WITH LEYDEN JARS OR HIGH- VOLTAGE CAPACITORS LARGER THANWHEN CHARGED UP BY AN ION GENERATOR (OR ANY OTHER HIGH- VOLTAGE SOURCE,) THEY CAN ELECTROCUTE YOU. I found a $5 ion generator at a garage sale. It works really well as an electrostatic power supply for the

I estimate the output voltage to be between 10,000 and 15,000 volts. This is well into the "staticI measured the output current and found 55uA is totally safe, it is smaller than the current obtained from touching a flashlight battery with damp fingers. Modify your Ion generator to connect some terminals: My Negative Ion Generator looks like this: The circular black foam disk is the NEGATIVE power supply terminal. other terminal, the POSITIVE one, is invisibly connected to ground through To connect an alligator cliplead to the Ion Generator, I placed a 1 inch strip of aluminum foil against the black foam disk, then wound some black electrical tape around both the foil and the top of the plastic case. left a tab of foil sticking out.) This pushes the foil firmly against theI then clipped my cliplead to the aluminum foil. several layers of foil together to make your strip, this keeps it from To verify that it worked, I plugged in the ion generator and gently

touched the alligator clip with one finger. Sure enough, little sparks crackled as I brushed the clip with my fingertip. To power the POP BOTTLE ELECTROSTATIC MOTOR , I clipped the other end of my alligator cliplead to the bare "commutator" wire of one of the statoraaa air duct and carpet cleaning reviewsThe other stator bottle must be connected to ground. idealist air purifier connections can be had from:air purifier abt When connected to the negative ion generator, my Pop-bottle motor ran fast at about 3 revolutions per second (180RPM). If your negative ion generator is significantly different from mine, it might be easier for you to connect it up. Some ion generators have a little tuft of black fur.

This fur is conductive, it is the negativeYou can carefully clip your alligator clip directly to thisOr you might find a 7,500V module powered by 120VAC from online surplus suppliers. EBAY has lots of these, under $5. But they need a DC power supply between 9V and 15V. SAFETY NOTE: use a small desktop ion generator, DO NOT use a FAN-TYPE IONThe negative terminal of an ionizing fan is buried down insideIT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE SAFELY TOUCHED. Go see THE LIST, links to ionizer sources. Ionizers are expensive when new. very cheap at "Salvation Army" stores, garage sales, etc., if you can findThe guts of ionizers are under $10 on ebay (see the list pageMany small "car ionizers" are no such thing. The little cylinder has a small ultraviolet lamp inside (a quartz mercury tube.) You might want to experiment with these forBut they don't put out any DC kilovolts. The As Seen on TV Bell & Howell® Desktop Ionizer cleans and purifies the air so quietly, you won’t even hear it!

The Ionic Whisper releases streams of negative ions to quickly remove odors, fumes, dust, smoke, pet dander, pollen, and other pollutants from your home, office or workshop. Air ionizer comes with an AC adapter and uses just 7 watts of power, less than a 60-watt bulb! The air filter for the Ionic Whisper easily rinses out and never need replacing.  The air purifier has two speeds of operation. , , , , , , , Spi Mini Air Purifier Car Air Cleaner 2014 SGS Certification Dosing System Industrial Water ...
