It would be interesting and perhaps not good in the shack if this were
the case but these are not electrostatic.
they are nothing more than a fancy venturi to amplify air flow Air
enters the base of the unit through a “mixed flow impeller” a fancy name
for a turbo like fan. and is forced out of a slot. The slot runs around
the inside of the ring-shaped fan body, across a “aircraft wing shape”
and then outward into the room. In short, it sucks air in through the
base and blows it out of a very thin slot in the inside of the
ring-shaped upper body drawing additional air though it.
