Abstract

An electrostatic fluid accelerator (201) includes an electrode array (202) including an array of corona discharge electrodes and an array of accelerating electrodes. A detector (204) is configured to sense a constituent component of the fluid as present in an output from th electrode array (202). A control circuit supplies power to the electrode array, the control circuit being responsive to an output from the detector (204) for operating the electrode array responsive a level of the constituent component.
