The present invention relates to a method for controlling the ionic wind generator. comprising an electrode body 10, an AC power source 20, and a DC power source 30. The electrode body 10 has a first electrode layer 12, a second electrode layer 14, a third electrode layer 16, and a dielectric layer 18, such that when a voltage is applied between the first electrode layer 12 and the second electrode layer 14 by the AC power source 20, and a voltage is applied between the second electrode layer 14 and the third electrode layer 16 by the DC power source 30, an ionic wind can be generated in a direction away from the dielectric layer 18. An AC voltage is preferably set totokVpp, and a DC voltage is preferably set totokV.
