Abstract

An electrostatic dissipation devicecan comprise an elongated enclosurewith a longitudinal axis. An x-ray sourcecan be oriented to emit x-raysinside of and along the longitudinal axis. A fluid-flow devicecan be oriented to cause fluid to flow across the x-ray sourcethen inside of and along the longitudinal axis, the fluid being ionized by the x-rays, forming ionized fluid, then out of the elongated enclosure through outlet opening(s). The arrangement of the x-ray sourceand the fluid-flow devicecan allow (1) fluid from the fluid-flow deviceto cool the x-ray source, and (2) ion generation along the length of the elongated enclosure
