How do the Ionic Breeze GP and Quadra move air without a motor or fan?
A regular fan works by rotating and physically pushing air with its blades. In a typical HEPA air filter, a noisy motor will power a rotating fan that makes noise as it spins. In contrast, Ionic Breeze works by using electrostatic forces to move air molecules — think of the power of same-pole magnets to push away from each other; the process is proprietary and patented (Zenion Effect Technology U.S. Patent No. 4,789,801). This solid-state technology uses an electrical charge to create air that is densely packed with positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. (An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.) This “electronic linear propulsion” is absolutely silent.
