Zusammenfassung:A process is provided for dispersing suspended particles in the air comprising: providing a generator apparatus for producing one or more propagating fluid vortex rings transporting ionized particles; directing the generator apparatus in a direction toward suspended particles in the air to be dispersed; generating a fluid vortex ring transporting ionized particles using the generator apparatus such that the fluid vortex ring travels to the suspended particles resulting in at least a portion of the ionized particles engaging and applying a charge to at least a portion of the suspended particles. The charged suspended particles are then attracted to one another or to nearby surfaces.
