I understand the words, but their meaning escapes me. This Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Generator is for the car and it apparently purifies the air. I’ll take two if it removes the horrible new car smell. It’s the perfect size to fit in a car cup holder and is powered by the cigarette lighter. From there, you’re seriously on your own as the manual is in Japanese. US$160 from GeekStuff4U.

The same positive and negative ions found in nature are created and released through plasma discharge. Plasmacluster technology, an air-purification technology developed by Sharp, decomposes and eliminates airborne mold fungus and viruses.
