As promised - depotting the biggest one
Added 2021-07-31 04:45:53 +0000 UTCYeah, I know. Another ionic video - but I'll be back to other non-ionic stuff in the next one.
I think this is eBay biggest ion module, unless you've seen a bigger one?

An ioniser just has the negative voltage brush emitters. The breeze is electrostatically charged air. A plain ioniser causes airborne dust/particulate to precipitate out to adjacent surfaces.

2021-08-23 03:29:47 +0000 UTCI just received the ones I bought, after watching this video. They do produce quite a breeze as is. But I then realised: I don't know what ionising does. In this video Clive say they produce trace levels of ozone, but aren't they the same as the Russian Atmoshperic Ioniser? Are ionisers the same as ozone generators?

2021-08-22 11:34:21 +0000 UTCYou could add a local collector plate by using a couple of 1 megohm resistors between the incoming supply and a metal plate. Or just put a grounded plate in the vicinity.

2021-08-07 16:52:27 +0000 UTCHave you come across any premade collector plate circuits like this? I'd like to build some powerful ionisers, but I'd like to build separate collectors as well.

2021-08-03 08:22:20 +0000 UTCI've not seen that done before.

2021-08-01 05:10:34 +0000 UTCThey may cause ion/ozone fatigue after a while.

2021-08-01 05:10:02 +0000 UTCI think it's to limit static-like zaps from the brushes, but will also prevent sparking across the needle and ring style emitters.

2021-08-01 05:09:33 +0000 UTCI showed it in a previous stream I think.

2021-08-01 05:08:14 +0000 UTCAre we at risk of your ionic videos becoming ironic or iconic?

2021-07-31 11:40:41 +0000 UTCThe 20M output ballast might be superfluous. The safety standard I'd use allows 45uC stored charge up to 15kV DC in normal condition. Above 15kV the criterion changes to 350mJ stored energy. And I've just figured the transformer is operating in forward (not flyback) mode, which effectively limits the output voltage. The same turns ratio ought to limit the output current as the thing only takes ~6mA at 230V. I haven't looked at how much 50Hz current gets through to the output brushes.
