Abstract

In this paper, a corona motor with blade type electrodes has been employed as a wind blower. The rotation speed was influenced significantly by the polarity of applied voltage and the number of blades. Therefore the effect of polarity of applied voltage and the number of blades on the electrical and mechanical fundamental properties of corona motor were investigated experimentally. The rotation speed decreased for increasing of number of blades, because the mass of blades increased. But the amount of air blow increased despite decreasing of the rotation speed, because air volume is not only influenced by rotation speed but also the number of blades and ionic wind which generated between blade tips and a induction electrode. Although space occupied by blades of the corona motor is smaller than the whole area of the blast pipe, wind rises a whole range of a wind blower for such reasons.
