Purifying the air with negative ion purifiers

By fatboi1 - 09-03-2009, 10:03 AM - Boxden > The Faculty of Science

Anyone ever use it? I need someone to elaborate what's the maximum range the negative ions go to and what increases its range. Reason I'm asking is because a while ago, I bought some little car air purifier touting to purify the air with negative ions but I didn't really see a difference. I wanted to know if an imbalance can lessen the efficiency of a negative ion emitter e.g., more positive ions than negative?
Also Check out this cool video of a negative Ion light bulb clearing smoke.

Not really familiar with this, I've have to look it up.

Thats pretty cool.

Well apparently the bulb attracts other air molecules to ionize them. Therefore, I guess depending on the voltage output of the bulb, it will probably purify more spacious environments or areas. Again, it attracts molecules so I guess it really wouldn't matter if there is an unbalance of either. I don't even see why there being an unbalance would cause less efficiency.

The purifier emits particles/molecules that are orderless and tasteless so don't expect the purifier to convert the fart you let go in your car into a cherry flavored scent.

Lol thanks.
I gotta get one of these bulbs for my room when I move. I love having fresh rooms and plus since I might have carpet in it, I don't want that mildew smell if something spills.
