Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of systems and methods for inducing swirl in particles are provided. In one embodiment, a system for inducing swirl in particles may include a supply (130) including a plurality of electrically charged particles, and at least one swirling chamber (110) for creating at least one electrical field (120) therein, which may include an entry path in communication with the supply (130) and an exit path. According to this example embodiment, the plurality of electrically charged particles may flow through the swirling chamber or chambers (110), causing at least one of the plurality of electrically charged particles to rotate about a radial axis of the swirling chamber (110) as a result of the electrical field.
