Airborne agents are charged by exposure to an electrostatically-charged cloud and an electrostatically-charged field is created for electrostatically manipulating the harmful airborne agent away from or toward the exposed surface for protecting the exposed surface from the harmful airborne agent. The harmful airborne agent may be collected on a charged surface, and destroyed by ultraviolet light.Field of SearchWith means to add charged solid or liquid particles to gaseous fluid mixtureSharpened point, serrated, or tip discharge And radioactive or ultraviolet light ionizer Germicidal lamp (e.g., ultraviolet light, etc.) With addition of solid, gas, or vapor Solid is electrically conducting ELECTRIC OR ELECTROSTATIC FIELD (E.G., ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATION, ETC.) Including baffling, deflection, or restriction of gas flow In environmental air enclosure COMBINED OR CONVERTIBLE Involving shielding apparatus Including electrostatic charging With charging electrode mounted on spray device Modification of environmental electric charge For application to living beings Use of forces of electric charge or field Particulate matter (e.g., liquids with suspended particles) | |
