The literature suggests that ionic AMDs have low efficiency. The literature, however, does not define efficiency the same way the computer industry defines it for rotary AMDs. In this study, static efficiency of ionic AMDs was evaluated similar to rotary AMDs. Various emitter to collector distances and various ring lengths, were evaluated for positive and negative coronas. By controlling emitter to collector distance and collector length, efficiencies were obtained more reasonably compared to rotary devices.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF ELECTROSTATICS}, author={June, Michael S. and Kribs, James and Lyons, Kevin M.}, year={2011}, month={Aug}, pages={345–350} } @article{june_kribs_lyons_2010, title={Efficiency of electrostatic air moving devices}, volume={68}, ISSN={["0304-3886"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.elstat.2010.06.001}, abstractNote={An ion-driven gas flow is characterized by the breakdown of a gas into ions in the presence of a high electric potential. Ions flow due to the potential gradient. Mass transfer motivates bulk airflow. In the current study, an ionic air moving device was constructed using needles as ion sources, and a ring as collector. Airflow and efficiency were evaluated at various ring widths and with various numbers of ionization sites. Efficiency was seen to increase with ring width if airflow and distance was held constant and also increased with the number of ionization sites when airflow was held constant.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF ELECTROSTATICS}, author={June, Michael S. and Kribs, James and Lyons, Kevin M.}, year={2010}, month={Oct}, pages={419–423} }
