Claims
- 1. An electric heating and field shielding apparatus for generating heated air and used with an electrical motor, the electric field shielding apparatus comprising;a heating element; an electrical motor; a housing body at least partially surrounding the electrical motor; and a conductive shielding medium arranged with the shape of the housing body to at least partially surround the electrical motor to substantially absorb electric field generated from the electrical motor.
- 2. The electric field shielding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the conductive shield medium is a thin conductive layer coated on an interior surface of the housing body.
- 3. The electric field shielding apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conductive layer is grounded.
- 4. The electric field shielding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the conductive shield medium is a conductive mesh placed against interior surface of the housing body.
- 5. The electric field shielding apparatus of claim 4, wherein the conductive mesh is grounded.
- 6. A hair dryer having an electric field shielding apparatus and an electrical motor, the hair dryer comprising:a heating element; a housing body at least partially surrounding the electrical motor; and a conductive shield medium arranged with the shape of the housing body to at least partially surround the electrical motor to substantially absorb electric field generated from the electrical motor.
- 7. The hair dryer of claim 6, wherein the conductive shield medium is a thin conductive layer coated on an interior surface of the housing body.
- 8. The hair dryer of claim 7, wherein the conductive layer is grounded.
- 9. The hair dryer of claim 6, wherein the conductive shield medium is a conductive mesh placed against interior surface of the housing body.
- 10. The hair dryer of claim 9, wherein the conductive mesh is grounded.
