Environmental Assessments and Mitigation of Naval Operations (Air and Surface)

Stepped Leader Air Movement (SLAM) uses staged, controlled ionization of ambient air to create airflow through non-conductive ductwork. It is a completely silent, highly reliable means of pumping air using electrostatics. It is also energy efficient --requiring high voltage, but extremely low current. Multiple stages of electrodes increase air volumetric flow rate in direct proportion.Low-noise and low-vibration movement of cooling or heating air. Ultra-reliability is inherent in the design. Possibleuses: submarines, surface vessels, SOSUS equipment cooling, medical ventilators, etc.
