This is a disassembly and technical insight into an old Mountain Breeze negative ion generator. These units impart an electrostatic charge into the air like static electricity that causes any airborne pollutants to precipitate out to adjacent surfaces.
This unit was made in Britain, possibly up to 30 years ago, but is still working fine although it had a slight technical issue when I first got it, namely the neon indicator failing. That was quite a common problem with that model, and it's quite odd that they failed in that manner.
Units like this tend to generate a high DC voltage at very low current using a Walton Cockcroft voltage multiplier to step the mains voltage (220 to 240V here in the UK and Europe) to several thousand volts DC which is then applied to sharp needle points. The air at the needle points takes on a negative charge and is repelled from the unit into the room. It imparts it's charge onto pollutants in the room that then precipitate out to surrounding surfaces. The running costs of these units is extremely low. Literally a few pennies a year.
