Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an electro-hydrodynamic air mover apparatus that includes a pair of isolators, a collector electrode, an emitter electrode, and a pair of conductive metal terminals. Each end of the collector electrode and each end of the emitter electrode are attached to a respective isolator of the pair of isolators. Each conductive metal terminal is placed in a slot of the respective isolator and is electrically connected to the emitter electrode. Each conductive metal terminal is configured for applying a respective voltage of a power supply. A distance from the emitter electrode to the collector electrode along an outer surface of each isolator is equal to or greater than a threshold distance set to prevent an electrical arcing between the collector electrode and the emitter electrode.
