This video was originally supposed to be about building an ioniser using a universal voltage module, but it ended up diving much deeper than expected. The circuitry in this module is refreshingly simple, but also very advanced in its use of a very neat miniature high voltage transformer.
I'm aware that some people love the ioniser videos and some people hate them, so I try to keep a balance of content.

That is a common way of showing ion wind. With some of the ridiculous units sold during the pandemic one of the guys showed that the ion flow between the oppositely charged carbon fibre emitters was enough to spin an air flow meter.

Talking about the 'wind' emitted from the carbon brush... How about Clive demonstrating this ion effect by mounting two carbon brushes on the ends of a wire 'see-saw' and balancing this on the pointed end of a needle connected to the ionizer. The 'wind' should cause the carbons to spin around rapidly. Definitely proves that the ions are spewing out into the air! Thanks, Clive.
