Abstract
An ionic wind delivery device includes a first discharge electrode; a reference electrode arranged separate from the first discharge electrode; a first power supply circuit configured to output a voltage to induce a corona discharge between the first discharge electrode and the reference electrode; a control electrode arranged on a delivery path of an ionic wind of ions that are generated by the corona discharge induced between the first discharge electrode and the reference electrode; a second discharge electrode arranged between the reference electrode and the control electrode; and a second power supply circuit configured to output a voltage to accelerate the ions generated by the corona discharge induced between the first discharge electrode and the reference electrode and to induce a corona discharge between the second discharge electrode and the control electrode.
