Abstract

An ion wind generating device includes a high voltage power supply, a capacitor connected in parallel to the high voltage power supply, a first metal cone connected in series to the high voltage power supply, a ground plate disposed on the same axis as the first metal cone, a starter motor, and a second metal cone disposed on a connecting shaft. The starter motor includes a rotating shaft and a connecting shaft perpendicular to the rotating shaft. After second metal cone moves to be located between first cone and the ground plate, the starter motor stops rotating. The high voltage power supply charges the capacitor with the high voltage power, and the capacitor discharges the first metal cone. When the second metal cone is located between the first metal cone and the ground plate, the first metal cone causes the second metal cone to discharge to generate an ionic wind.

Claims (22)

1. An ion wind generating device, comprising:

a high voltage power supply, for periodically providing a high voltage power;

a capacitor, connected in parallel to the high voltage power supply;

a first metal cone, connected in series to the high voltage power supply;

a ground plate, disposed on the same axis as the first metal cone;

a starter motor, comprising a rotating shaft and a connecting shaft, wherein the connecting shaft is perpendicular to the rotating shaft; and

a second metal cone, disposed on the connecting shaft;

wherein after the starter motor makes the second metal cone move to be located between the first cone and the ground plate, the starter motor stops rotating;

wherein the high voltage power supply charges the capacitor with the high voltage power, and the capacitor discharges the first metal cone; and when the second metal cone is located between the first metal cone and the ground plate, the first metal cone causes the second metal cone to discharge to generate an ionic wind.

2. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , further comprising:

a diode, disposed between the first metal cone and the high voltage power supply.

3. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , wherein the high voltage power supply is a high voltage coil.

4. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , further comprising:

an electric generator, coupled to the rotating shaft of the starter motor.

5. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , further comprising:

a low voltage end, disposed behind the ground plate.

6. The ion wind generating device in claim 5 , wherein the voltage values of the high voltage power supply, the ground plate and the low voltage end are arranged in descending order.

7. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , further comprising:

a switch, connected in series to the high voltage power supply, wherein the high voltage power supply supplies the periodic high voltage power through the switch.

8. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , further comprising:

a diode, connected in series to the high voltage power supply.

9. The ion wind generating device in claim 1 , wherein the high voltage power supply supplies the periodic high voltage power by using pulse control.
