Abstract

Air Ionizer is a project that required design by using the Cockcroft-Walton Voltage Multiplier to generate negative ion. The air ionizer will produced negative ions in the air for a small room such as the tutorial room in FKEKK. This project will develop an air ionizer which can produce the negative ions to the air. The development of the air ionizer will involve electronic circuit. The Cockcroft-Walton design is based on the Half-Wave Series Multiplier. By using only capacitor and diodes, these voltage multipliers can step up relatively low voltage to extremely high value. This project will focus on the generation of a massive amount of negative ions. The advantages of this project will using a low cost component and easy to insulate. The problem statements are the quality of air is reducing and causing many health problems to mankind. Beside that, now there is green house effect that will cause the damage to a human such as skin effect, asthma and other illness related to the air. This circuit is design to solve the problem related to the low quality air in a small room. The main objectives of this project are to generate negative ions by exposing air to a high negative voltage and to converts AC or pulsing DC electrical power from a low voltage level to a higher DC voltage level. Through this project, the characteristic of the Cockcroft-Walton Multiplier circuit will discussed and the related circuit will be design and simulated.
