Easy-Air (-) Ion Generator: The present invention provides an electric device that creates ‘corona discharge’ for cleaning the air from airborne/atmospheric particulate matter including gaseous and biological contaminates. The invention uses high voltage DC current that performs two functions/phases: (1) The first function has two pairs of positive and negative polarity, therein for building a force field between the metal plates for attracting airborne particles, gaseous and biological contaminates that are incinerated. SEE FIG. #1. (2) The second function has negative current wires that goes across the force field, which comes into contact with the filtered air separating negative ions that flow into the room or local area. SEE FIG. #2. The negative ions attach themselves to any particulate matter including soot, tobacco smoke, smog, oil smoke, fly ash, cement dust, suspended atmospheric dust, settling dust, and heavy dust and with its increased molecular weight and pulls the particulate matter to the ground or surface reducing/related atmospheric particulate matter to enhance air quality. Any related airborne/atmospheric particles with a heavier molecular weight due to the negative ionization process are also attracted to the positive current force field and are re-filtered to enhance air quality. SEE FIG. #1. Additionally, the corona discharge is used to split the diatomic oxygen molecule into valent oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms have a negative charge and will bond quickly with another oxygen molecule to produce ozone. For each split oxygen molecule 2 ozone molecules are produced. SEE FIG. #2.
