What makes this ioniser unique is the dust collection mat that is charged to a high positive potential with respect to the supply to make it a preferential dust collection zone than surrounding furnishings.

I'm very curious about getting one of these, but if you search for "ionizer" all you get is quackery.
Just shit it on a seat of paper

Youre welcome
Seems hard to buy proper new ionisers nowadays.
I assumed a Yank would just have to add one extra multiplyer stage to make up for the 120 volt U.S. mains. Then I remembered I/R. Definitely a voltage doubling transformer first. Thank you for jogging my brain.
I was wondering, rather than having a positive side to attract things to, could the mesh not just be connected to the earth pin, having the ground potential?
Curiously, I also asked for an ioniser for Christmas (in the 80s, from DAK industries in the states)! Mine was fairly sealed, though, so I didn't try taking it apart until a couple years later when it started arcing between the emitter and collector (this was an oval cylinder with the midsection as the collector and one side of the tilted top as an emitter with a fibre pad doing the emitting — wish I could find a photo).
During the pandemic, I've been keenly interested again in ionisers, as I found a study that showed active ionisation as extremely successful in preventing virus transmission in mice. I've been thinking of building powerful ones with separate collector plates (ideally self contained and hanging on an opposite wall) to have friends and family install in their homes and local restaurants put in to keep themselves safe.
I remember buying an ioniser in the late 80s for my 2 year old who had allergies, I was itching to pull it apart to see what was inside but missus banned me from doing so. Never know what happened to it but I know it did something because I recall the dirt collection along the front of it. I recall there was a sort of silk string across its front and I put my finger near it when the room was semi dark and I saw a gentle blue spark. Interesting stuff. Can you still buy these things??
I want one of these now but I have a bird so I can't get one lol
