ion wind

Ion wind is a phenomenon where air or another gas moves due to electric charges. When a high voltage is applied between two electrodes, it ionizes the surrounding air, creating charged particles. These ions are attracted to the opposite electrode, and as they move, they collide with air molecules, transferring momentum. This transfer pushes the air, creating a gentle flow or breeze. Ion wind is used in some propulsion systems and air purification devices because it can generate airflow without moving parts or traditional fans.
