Ionic acceleration of air needs high voltages and the air gets ionized (the reason people recommend against vacuuming a PC). I'm surprised that it works at all in close proximity to sensible tech.

Edit: right, low static pressure, meaning: lower voltages. But still not low.

They use a grounded faraday cage around it. Video on it where he touched on that https://youtu.be/fyai_kUYhLs

Can't watch the video rn, anything about the dust problem?

He just mentions they have a solution but it’s patented so they wouldn’t talk about it. Take that as you will of course

[–] RubberElectrons 19 points 1 week ago

Strange, patented means it should be findable on the USPTO system, diagrams and all. And yet..

Either there's a filter or the plates will cycle charging up to repeal the dust partials.
