 Abstract

The invention provides the use, a method, and an apparatus to reduce and remove liquid droplets in air, such as fog, mist, or haze, although the invention in specific embodiments might also be used to reduce and remove liquid droplets from a spray or steam.The invention of the mist and/or air borne water or other liquid droplets catching and collection apparatus creates an electric wind, especially enforced by charged needle points or line arranged constructions and/or wires of the first electrode and an electric charging of mist and/or air borne water or other liquid droplets, which will be directed by the electric wind and the electric field between the electric source and the opposite grounded or opposite charged counter electrode (second electrode) of fine gauze or something comparable.
