Frequently Asked Questions

Do your negative ionizers also produce positive ions as a byproduct?

Frequently asked questions about negative ionizers
No, our ionizers certainly do not generate any positive ions. Some other brands of ionizers generate the negative ions by removing electrons from nearby oxygen atoms (thereby creating positive ions) and transferring the electrons to nearby neutral atoms to generate negative ions. However, our ionizers emit all the electrons directly from the ion emitter (instead of robbing them from other atoms).

How Do You Measure the Amount of Negative Ions that your negative ionizers produce?

Frequently asked questions about our high-density negative i...
We test the total negative ion output out of the ion emitter per second (approximately 90 to 100 trillion) using more than one method. We do different tests of the ion output using several proprietary methods that we have developed in our labs. We use Alpha Labs air ion counters. The reading at approx. one meter (39") from the emitter is 1,000,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. These measurements are done in rooms with no fans and roughly 45% humidity.

What are negative and positive ions?

HealthWise | Cultivating Healthy Lifestyle The Wise Way
When atoms or molecules lost or gain an electron, it is called positive ion or negative ion respectively. Ions can be produced through radioactivity, high energy event such as open flame, high voltage connected to pointed metal edges, evaporating water and lots more. Creation of our everyday products essential for our modern way of life produces excess positive ions which upset the natural balance of our environment

How does the Neo-Tec Ionizer produce negative ions and ozone?

Clean Air FAQS: Air Cleaners, Air Purification, Air Purifier...
Neo-Tec Ionizer uses ionizing electrodes (needlepoint ionizers) to produce a high density of negative ions. Needlepoint ionization produces the highest concentration of negative ions of any other method. Each Neo-Tec Ionizer produces about 1,000,000 ions/cm.3. Also, it is very unlikely that the electrodes within the Neo-Tec Ionizer purifier will ever wear down or erode, since they are made from stainless steel. Most other ionizers use inferior materials for their electrodes (needlepoints).

What are negative ions? How are they beneficial?

Optimal Skin Care Frequently Asked Questions - A Bravenet.co...
It is now medically recognized that degenerative skin conditions, such as ageing, wrinkles and skin discolorations are caused primarily by free-radical damage. Molecules attempting to repair themselves in this way trigger a cascading event called "free-radical damage." The action of free-radical damage takes place in a fraction of a second. Theoretically, free-radical damage can cause deterioration of the skin's support structures, decreasing elasticity and resilience.

WHAT ARE NEGATIVE CHARGED IONS?

FAQS
Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged Ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged Ion.  Like Ozone, Negative Charged Ions represent a natural method of cleaning the air we breath.

Q Ionic/Ozone Air Purifier
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

Technically speaking: "Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged Ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged Ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us the most."

How does a negative ion generator produce negative ions?

Frequently asked questions about negative ionizers
There's several ways to generate negative ions, but the way we do it is apply a safe, extremely low-current, high voltage to sharp points (the ion emitter). Without getting into a detailed explanation and delving into electron physics, the electrons build up on the sharp points and are ejected into the air, where they attach themselves to oxygen atoms. Since the electrons have a "negative" charge, the molecules of oxygen with extra electrons become negative ions.

How many negative ions does the passive negative ion generator produce?

HyperStealth FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ion Counters indicate that the original passive negative ion generator produces between a constant 550 ? 650 negative ions per cubic centimeter within an inch of the ion counter. The MarkII (second generation prototype) registers 1250 ions per cubic centimeter a few inches from the ion counter.

How many negative ions do your units produce and how long do the ionic pins last?

Ionic Zone IZ-270 FAQ's
The Ionic Zone IZ-270 produces over 300,000 negative ions at 3 feet, more than any other ionizer's we've tested. Because the IZ-270 has 25 pins and an independent carbon fibre ion emitter (negative ion generator), it produces more than 120 trillion negative ions at 1 cm. However, negative ions only last around 30 seconds in the air and quickly dissipate. Hence the need for a fan for distribution.

How does Teviron produce Negative Ions on a long-term basis?

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
During this process of production, chlorine (Cl) plays an important role. In the periodic table, chlorine is seventeenth; in other words, Cl has seventeen protons (carries positive electricity) and seventeen electrons (carries negative electricity). According to calculated results by chemists, Cl must get one electron from the air to arrive at a stable state; so there will be more electrons than protons, which makes Teviron have negative electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Negative ions are natures most powerful air-cleansing agents. There is nothing in the world more effective in taking allergens and contaminates out of the air we breathe. Unfortunately, due to the tight construction of today's homes and buildings, they are unable to take effect within indoor environments. Negative ions are created by nature, and found at their most optimal levels where the air is most pure and healthy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF NEGATIVE CHARGED IONS?

FAQS
One direct benefit is the removal of airborne particulates (many of which are the source of allergies) due to gravity.  By necessity, the particles which float in the air are very light.  The addition of the displaced electron often adds enough weight to the particle that it can no longer float freely in the air and it will fall harmlessly to the floor where it will be swept or vacuumed away.

Can I be pregnant and not get a positive HPT (a False Negative result)?

Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits: FAQ
False negative results are more common than false positives - and are primarily due to inaccuracies in timing of the test or carelessness in the test procedure itself. Please follow test instructions with circumspection and precision. A false negative result can also stem from using a diluted urine sample and/or from taking a test too early in pregnancy. First morning urine contains the most concentrated presence of hCG - which makes it the ideal sample for pregnancy testing.

How do Negative Ions Purify the Air?

XJ2000 Surround Air Ionizer, Biozone Purifier
Virtually all airborne contaminants have a positive charge. Negative ions have a negative charge. Therefore, when there is a high enough concentration of negative ions in the air, negative ions and airborne particles magnetically attract to one another in large numbers. This marriage causes the particle to become too heavy to remain airborne. The particles then fall out of the air so that they can't be inhaled.

How are negative ions produced by your unit, and how much?

XJ2000 Surround Air Ionizer, Biozone Purifier
The Surround Air XJ-2000 uses 17 high density stainless steel ionic pins to produce trillions of negative ions per second from the front of the unit. The NeoTec XJ-902 uses two corona discharge lines to produce a high density of negative ions in every direction. Both units produce over 150,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter at three feet. That's equivalent to the negative ion concentration near waterfalls - long known to be the healthiest, cleanest air known to man.
