In the laboratory Zerostat keeps film glass plasticware and lenses dust and lint free. It also prevents charged particles from flying during weighting or transfer of particles. And the Zerostat gun finds wide use among those who possess and maintain phonograph record collections. Each Zerostat unit has a ‘two cycle’ type of operation when the trigger is squeezed positive ions are generated and when the trigger is relaxed negative ions flow. This means that it is possible to induce a charge on a neutral surface using the Zerostat. If the trigger is squeezed and the Zerostat is then removed from the surface before allowing the trigger to return to its original position a positive charge will be induced. Similarly pointing the Zerostat at the surface only for the release of the trigger will induce a negative charge. Each squeeze of the trigger results in a discharge when stated in units of charge is 1.5 Coulombs. One can reasonably expect on the order of 10000 such ‘squeeze cycles’ during the lifetime of the Zerostat. The Zerostat needs no batteries or electrical supply nor does it contain any radioactive components. The Zerostat is lightweight highly portable and easy to control and handle.
