Negative Ion Generator for Static Grass Applicator 12vDC

Directions were simple and straightforward. In my first attempt, I was frustrated as I had power coming in as indicated by the light on the switch, but there was nothing coming out of the back end. I asked for a replacement unit and, after wiring it up, discovered it wasn't the generator that was faulty but the switch I bought from Autozone. After fixing that, my grass applicator works like a charm now. Thanks, Gary, for giving this inexperienced electrician the benefit of the doubt. =)

Nice packaging, nice enclosure with the screw holes. Nice touch of having the extra ground wire. The first device, I followed the instructions to test my 12 VDC power source and it was 12.25V, the limit said 12.5, so I was clear. I soldered a DC plugin and quickly tested the first device and it was excellent. Plenty of ions flying off and I could hear it and feel the air gushing from the tip. The second one did nothing......crickets. Same power.

Made my own Static Grass Applicator with this Negative Ion Generator and it works great!!! Watched the video on YouTube for wiring instructions and the video was very informative and very easy to follow.If your looking to make a static grass applicator, this is what you need. I highly recommend watching the video on YouTube for the wiring tutorial.

DOA FOLLOWED ALL RULES STATED IN INSTRUCTIONS TEST OPERATED AT A CONFERMED 11 VOLTS NOTHING no static feald NOT HAPPY at all

if I was reviewing costumer service it would be 5 stars. but I am not, I got my first one and it fired 3 power supplies back feeding into them then the unit died, I did get it to work off a 9V battery but it was sparking at the negative termanal this was before it finally totally died . I contacted the seller and he was very nice said he needed to contact his manufacturer. after a number of months of very pleasant back and forth he send me a new unit but said so not hook it up until he hears back from the manufacturer. so I now have a unit I cannot use in fear wrecking it and have not heard back from him in weeks.

I had bought the kit to make a static grass applicator which has one of these units in it. After burning out four different power supplies I thought it might be the Ion generator had gone bad, so I ordered a new one. After talking to the maker of the kits, he suggested I use a 9V battery. When I hooked up 8 AA batteries (12V) the static grass kit worked just fine. So I really didn't need to buy this one, guess I have a spare in the event I do need to replace the original.

Good instructions included, though I would like more information on appropriate power supply. That is available online though so it's no big deal. I compared what others used, chose one of my drawer dwelling old 12v DC output 2000ma wall warts that tested good at 12.2v +-.1 with a multimeter.

It works great, it is easy to create an electrostatic grass applicator. If you know electronics you can power the circuit with a backup battery or a current eliminator.
