  • Abstract
    A general survey of recent development work on the sources of unipolar air using alpha-emitting radioactive materials is presented. A new device, which operates at relatively high air speeds of about 450 feet per minute, provides an air output containing only positive or only negative ions. The method of controlling the density of this unipolar output also is discussed.
