Can we store negative air ions ?
« on: 03/07/2016 14:59:03 »
Im new to this website and i have a research inquiry. Is there a way to store negative air ions as compressed gas in a cage or chamber of some sort?
I have a way and id like to propose it to you. Putting the negative air ions in a sealed container with plastic insides to prevent shorting of the ions with metals
And the air in the container is clean, with no positive air ions or airborne particles ( bacteria or dust ) can they retain their charge inside their container for
Infinite or a prolonged duration ? Thank you very much

Two points:

-It takes a lot of energy to separate charges. And that energy will be released as/when the charges eventually find each other. A tank full of only negative ions would essentially be a bomb.

-Why are positive particles bad and negative ones good?

Why bother?
"Despite numerous experimental and analytical differences across studies, the literature does not clearly support a beneficial role in exposure to negative air ions and respiratory function or asthmatic symptom alleviation. Further, collectively, the human experimental studies do not indicate a significant detrimental effect of exposure to positive air ions on respiratory measures. Exposure to negative or positive air ions does not appear to play an appreciable role in respiratory function."

I do not wish to use this for medical purposes. And creating negative air ions only in the container can be easily provided by a negative air ioniser. Is there a way to store them ? And negative air ions benefit your mood, health, and blood pressure while
Posititve ions do the opposite. Thats why some are good and the others are bad. Someone please help me
