Using 150 V/m for the E-field at the surface of the Earth and Gauss' law, I
calculate an electron density of about 10^-9 per sq m on the surface of the
Earth. That doesn't seem like much of a source for an ion generator. Did
I miss something fundamental here?
Since the earth is surrounded by a downward pointing E field of about
150 V/m, we can use Gauss' Law to calculate an average density of
'un-neutralized' electrons that are scattered across the surface of
the earth and any conducting surface which is 'grounded'. i.e. the
surface of the water in the your 'mister' has excess electrons on it.
As for how the beam generates the mist - all my reading said
"cavitation". In other words, I don't know.
