An electrostatic-field generator that consists of a vitrified ceramic tube of unibody construction having a single open end adapted to receive a high-voltage power cable through an insulated cap. The interior surface of the ceramic tube is lined with a layer of conductive material electrically connected to the power cable, thereby providing a relatively-large conductive surface in intimate contact with the dielectric surface of the ceramic tube. In operation, the device is immersed in a body of water connected to ground and the power cable is energized with a high DC voltage, thereby creating an electrostatic field across the dielectric of the tube's ceramic and across the body of water. Because of the difference in the dielectric coefficients of the materials, the majority of the applied potential is measured across the water, thus providing the desired electrostatic effect on its particulate components.
