Abstract
Embodiments of electrostatic blower system for use in computer systems or other electronic device, e.g., in inkjet printers for cooling or drying operations, are disclosed. An exemplary method may include arranging a plurality of electrostatic blowers together to increase output pressure. The method may also include positioning the arranged electrostatic blowers directly adjacent a point of use in a printer device. The method may also include directing and accelerating airflow using a corona discharge in each of the plurality of electrostatic blowers for cooling or drying operations in the printer device.
