Abstract
A combination includes (1) a host device having a high voltage generator, where the host device is configured to perform a function other than dust collection or electrostatic precipitation; and (2) an electrostatic precipitator configured to share the output of the high voltage generator of the host device. A method of providing an electrostatic precipitator includes integrating an electrostatic precipitator into a host device that includes a high voltage generator, where said host device is configured to perform a function other than electrostatic precipitation; and sharing an output of the high voltage generator between the electrostatic precipitator and the host device. In some examples, the host device is a television set.
