The metal body (10) is a vertical sheet and multiple sharp teeth (11) are formed on one side of the metal body (10).
  • A metal grounded member (20) is a vertical piece, is formed separately from the metal body (10), corresponds to the sharp teeth (11), and has multiple openings (21) having an amount same as that of the sharp teeth (11). Each opening (21) may be round or another shape.
  • An insulated frame (30) is mounted between the metal body (10) and the metal grounded body (20) to hold the metal body (10) and the metal grounded member (20) at a specified interval.
  • When the metal body (10) is electrified, the sharp teeth (11) are in a strong electrical field to form a corona phenomenon and the circumferential air around the sharp teeth (11) is ionized. The ions with an electric charge same as that on the sharp teeth (11) will be rejected by the sharp teeth (11), and all moves toward the metal grounded member (20). Consequently, an electric wind is formed, which is also called an ionic wind. The ionic wind is strong enough to bring the air from the metal body (10) to the metal grounded member (20).

The ions with an electric charge same as that on the sharp teeth (11 a) will be rejected by the sharp teeth (11 a), and all moves to the metal grounded member (20 a), and an electric wind is formed, which is also called an ionic wind. The ionic wind is strong enough to bring the air from the metal body (10 a) to the metal grounded member (20 a), according to the air convection.
  • When the metal body (10 a) is electrified with positive voltage, the ionic wind is positive, and reversely, the ionic wind is negative.

  • A metal grounded member (20 c) comprises multiple vertical cooling fins and contacts with the heat source, and is provided separately from the metal body (10 c). The number of the cooling fins is the same as the number of sharp teeth (11 c).
  • When the metal body (10 c) is electrified, the sharp teeth (11 c) are in a strong electrical field to generate a corona phenomenon, and the air around the sharp teeth (11 c) is ionized. The ions having the same charge with the sharp teeth (11 c) will be rejected by the sharp teeth (11 c), and moves to the metal grounded member (20 c), and an electric wind is formed, which is also called an ionic wind. The ionic wind is strong enough to bring the air from the metal body (10 c) to the metal grounded member (20 c), whereby the heat of the metal grounded member (20 c) is dissipated, according to the heat convection principle.
  • When the metal body (10 c) is electrified with positive voltage, the ionic wind is positive, and reversely, the ionic wind is negative.
  • FIG. 5 shows a fifth embodiment of this invention, which is similar to the first embodiment, only the metal grounded member (20 d) is a reticular piece, as shown in the third embodiment.
  • When the metal body (10 d) is electrified, the sharp teeth (11 d) are in a strong electrical field to cause a corona phenomenon, and the air around the sharp teeth (11 d) is ionized. The ions having the same charge with the sharp teeth (11 d) will be rejected by the sharp teeth (11 d), and moves to the metal grounded member (20 d), and an electric wind is formed, which is also called an ionic wind.
