Air-atomizing electrostatic spray system

A spray system includes a spray device with a housing enclosing an electrostatic power supply that generates an electrostatic charging voltage and a nozzle assembly including a liquid tip that receives a spray liquid and an air stream and emits an atomized spray and an electrode coupled to receive the electrostatic charging voltage and configured to inductively charge the spray. A base unit includes a liquid source that supplies the spray liquid, an air source that supplies the air stream and a power source that supplies power for the electrostatic power supply. A tether couples the spray device to the base unit. The tether includes a liquid supply line coupling the liquid source to the liquid tip, an air supply line coupling the air source to the liquid tip, and a power supply line coupling the power source to the electrostatic power supply.
