The present invention is a directed to an integrated ionic air mover that provides air flow rates through an opening within the a printed circuit board (PCB), or other similar insulating surface, to create the structure of the air mover, so that high heat generating components mounted on the PCB can be cooled. The ionic air mover has sharp and blunt electrodes with a corona discharge taking place in the air gap in between the electrodes. A directional emission of the ions creates an ionic wind the moves air through the PCB. The invention provides a low-cost structure, while achieving high electro-air flow power conversion efficiency and air-flow performance integrated into the PCB that the heat generating components are mounted on. The ionic air mover may also be surface mounted to a PCB and include a transmittal coil for wireless charging.

An ion generating device can include a housing having an opening, an anode and a cathode disposed within the housing and having a space between them in fluid communication with the opening, a power source having a negative terminal and a positive terminal with a first connection between the negative terminal and the anode and a second connection between the positive terminal and the cathode, and an air mover disposed to direct an air flow through the space and out of the opening.
