An electrostatic fluid delivery system is configured to deliver fluid, such as a disinfectant fluid, onto a surface by electrically charging the fluid and forming the fluid into a mist, fog, plume, or spray that can be directed onto a surface, such as a surface to be cleaned. The system atomizes the fluid using a high-pressure fluid stream and passes the fluid through an electrode of a nozzle assembly to charge droplets of the atomized fluid.

A film forming device 10 including a distance measurement unit 30 for measuring the distance between the skin S and the device 10, a distance decision unit 31 for deciding whether the distance measured by the distance measurement unit 30 is proper for electrostatic spraying, and a distance notification unit 32 for notifying a user of the decision by the distance decision unit 31. The film forming device 10 is of hand-held type small enough and configured to be held by the user's hand. The device 10 preferably includes an angle measurement unit 42 for measuring the angle between the electrostatic spray direction and the skin S.

A portable, hand-held electrospinning or electrospraying apparatus and system, method, and portions thereof, comprised of a durable portion of the hand-held apparatus and a consumable portion of the hand-held apparatus. The consumable portion of the hand-held apparatus, which may contain the solution to be output in electrospin or electrospray fashion, may be replaced in whole or in part to provide additional or alternative solution. A base station may be provided, and can output high voltage and communication signals to the hand-held apparatus to enable the electrospin or electrospray operation by the hand-held apparatus.

Provided is a composition for forming a coating film directly on the skin by an electrostatic spray, the composition being capable of forming a coating film having excellent skin compatibility, adhesion, and scratch resistance, having a good feel, and being easy to peel. A composition for forming a coating film, for forming a coating film composed of fibers directly on the skin by an electrostatic spray, the composition comprising the following Components (a), (b), (c), and (d): (a) a polymer having a coating film forming ability (b) one or more volatile substances selected from the group consisting of an alcohol and a ketone (c) a plasticizer (d) a feel modifier other than Component (c).

A fluid sprayer includes a pump and an electrostatic module configured to provide an electrostatic charge to spray fluid. The electrostatic module is electrically connected to a conductive component of the fluid sprayer, such as a fluid displacement member, fitting, cylinder, or spray tip, to charge the spray fluid via the conductive component. The fluid is electrostatically charged prior to exiting the fluid sprayer.

A generator usable in an explosive atmosphere zone, and having a power greater than or equal to 8 Watts, preferably greater than 10 Watts, and an assembly including an electrostatic sprayer for a coating product and the generator.

An electrostatic sprayer system for dispensing and dispersing a liquid containing a spray compound includes a spray cloud dispersal feature that reduces the time that a residual spray cloud containing droplets including the spray compound remains suspended after spraying. A method of dispersing the residual spray cloud is implemented by a control system that causes a flow control system to deliver a non-active gas or liquid in conjunction with stopping delivery of the liquid containing the spray agent and charged with the same polarity, so that a charged cloud of the non-active gas or liquid, which may be air, displaces the suspended active fluid particles. The non-active gas or liquid may be dispensed for a predetermined time interval as determined by the control system, or the operator may control the time interval during which that the non-active fluid is dispensed.
