Microscale Ion Wind Engine

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a microscale ion wind engine that overcomes the most challenging technical difficulties in ion wind generation; the neutralization of ions, which adversely affects the strength of the ionic wind generated and its potential heat transfer benefits. This enables more efficient and effective operation. By eliminating surfaces in the vicinity of the electrodes and ion transport, this new microscale ion wind engine ensures optimal flow disruption and heat transfer enhancement.
