本實驗主要是討論利用電液動力學(Electrohydrodynamics, EHD)之技術來提升散熱能力。其原理為在一針狀電極上通一高壓電，使電極附近的空氣解離進而產生離子風，以達到增強散熱能力之目的。而在本實驗，是透過輸入一不同波形之訊號進入高壓電源供應器產生不同波形及頻率的高電壓，使電極端產生之離子風有類似間歇噴流現象的效果。希望能利用間歇噴流來讓熱邊界層造成擾動，使邊界層重複消失後重組的狀態，進而觀察其與穩態高電壓持續輸入來比較。透過實驗結果可知，對單根電極狀態而言，若僅考慮不同波形之最大電壓，則在相同電壓下穩定持續輸出效果最佳。但因工業考慮上多從功率或有效電壓(Vrms)來看，則不同波形輸入之效果均較穩態持續輸入為佳。在不同的間距下，存在最佳效果的頻率亦會變動，在本實驗室中用頻率0.5、1、1.5及2Hz。在本實驗中，對水平間距5mm而言，0.5Hz狀況下效果最佳。對水平間距10mm而言，頻率1Hz或1.5Hz之效果較佳。對間距15mm而言，頻率2Hz效果最佳。此外，對相同的最大輸入電壓情況下，步階函數輸入之情況會優於正弦函數輸入，而三角波形輸入最差，其原因與波形的有效性(RMS)有關。
