Global Ion Systems - Technology

The history of our technology goes back to the early 1900's and one of the world's foremost scientists, Albert Einstein. Einstein's sister was suffering from tuberculosis and her doctors sent her to a sanitarium in the Swiss Alps as it was well known that the Alps were one of the healthiest places in the world. She soon recovered from her illness, but upon examination he realized the air in the Alps contained more electricity then at lower elevations. Einstein teamed with his friend and colleague, Conrad Habicht, and the two collaborated on a device called a potential multiplier. With this device, they proved it was possible to reproduce the electricity naturally found in air. They concluded the electricity, or specifically ions, found in the fresh mountain air, was the key difference.

Einstein came to America to teach at Princeton University and Habicht commercialized the technology. In 1947, he formed a company to manufacture and market his bipolar ion products. It is this very same scientific principle that we at Global Ion Systems' (GIS) apply today with our ActiveOx™ bi-polar ionization technology for indoor air purification.

Much like sunlight does in the atmosphere, Global Ion Systems' (GIS) ActiveOx™ technology produces a natural bio-climate rich in active oxygen molecules. The ActiveOx™ system creates a measurable and controllable quantity of negative and positive air ions. These activate naturally present oxygen molecules with bi-polarity and they form clusters of 10 to 60 molecules clinging together. This raises the air's ability to free electrons from the oxygen molecules that will interact with pollutants and break their molecular structures into less harmful structures. Typically, one to two million clusters is formed per litre of air passing by the ActiveOx™ unit. Room air is enriched when these clusters interact with the polluted air in the room. The reactivated oxygen molecules start to immediately disinfect the air (controls bacteria, mold spores, etc.) by penetration of the split zone of mold spores and bacteria as well as neutralizing odors (VOC's) through restructuring of the molecules. Particles are controlled by their clinging to the oxygen clusters and the combined weight of the two dropping the particles to the floor. All of this is done without resorting to harmful means such as ultra violet light and chemical additives or the introduction of ozone.
