For the purpose of dust removal from CCD sensors I need to figure out a way to create positive ions in an air stream in a cost effective way. There appears to be a ton of information on creating negative ions, but I'm not finding any good info on creating positive ions. The purpose here will be to break the static bound between the dust particles and a CCD sensor. I have pretty expensive cameras I use for astrophotography and hate to keep cleaning these sensors via mechanical means. Not to mention dust flys back on the sensor seconds after I'm done due to static buildup.
We can move this if it's off topic for this sub forum.
Thanks
