Ion Generator Kit
Ion Generator Kit
- Generate a breath of fresh air…Without a fan!
- Generate negative ions along with a blast of fresh air, without any noise!
- Generates a steady state DC voltage at a constant current, not pulsed!
- Generates 7.5kV DC negative, 400uA. That’s a lot of ions!
- Electronic kit, assembly required
This Ion Generator Kit generates an “ion wind” without a fan or moving parts. Instead, wind is generated by force of ion repulsion, which is similar in principle to the ion propulsion systems used by NASA in modern spacecraft. — Kit includes 7.5kV DC negative power supply at 400 uA, 7 ion wind tubes and mounting hardware for the ion wind generator.

Negative Ion Generator Kit,
I ordered this kit for paranormal research, more on a whim than anything, just to try it out. It actually turned out to be a pretty amazing little gadget that works really well-much better than anticipated. It will blow out a cigarette lighter from about 4 inches away, it’s so powerful, and you can smell the ozone (that “clean” smell) that it generates immediately upon plugging it in.
It DOES NOT come with a power supply (which it doesn’t say in the description), but any 12 volt 500ma or so power supply with a 2.1mm male plug will work just fine.
It’s a little tricky to solder the tubes and nails if you are a beginner and don’t have much experience soldering. I would definitely recommend using a small butane torch or something similar, as a soldering iron will never get the copper tubes hot enough. I have a 140 watt soldering gun, and it took forever to heat up the copper tubes. Ended up using a small torch, and it worked like a charm.
The tubes are just Nibco 1/2″ copper pipe couplings, just like you would buy at any hardware store, and the nails are exactly that, just small nails, that will need to be sharpened really well before soldering them onto the board. Once those are assembled, there are only a few basic solder joints to complete-one resistor, one LED, the female power jack and a few wires that need to be soldered in place. Then everything screws in place onto the larger IC board, and the kit is complete.
If you are going to handle this kit much, as I do for paranormal investigations, I would DEFINITELY recommend mounting it in a project box or something similar, since it does generate VERY high voltages, and you wouldn’t want to accidentally touch the wires coming out of the high voltage power supply. I bought one from Radio Shack that it fits into perfectly, although I drilled lots of holes in it to allow for the air flow, and cut the one end out of the box and replaced it with rabbit wire to allow the ions sufficient room to flow out of the box. Anyway, it’s much safer in the box, as there’s no chance of touching anything electrical, especially when using it in complete darkness as I do, or around children.
All in all this is a pretty good little kit, and assembly is not that difficult; just be sure to follow the instructions when soldering the tubes and nails into place, and, as i said, use something that will be hot enough to solder copper pipe, and you shouldn’t have any problems.
