Have you seen the following Flangan patent 4,391,773 available on the IBM
patent server.
ABSTRACT
A housing encloses a high voltage, high frequency power supply having output
terminals connected to a pair of electrodes mounted on opposite sides of
a solid
dielectric, the electrodes and solid dielectric being encapsulated in an
insulator and mounted in a tunnel in the housing, the air to be purified
being
circulated through the tunnel.
This patent has a very intersting diaelectric. Was wondering if anyone has
any info as to how well it works as a air purifier and as a diaelectric.
