There are a number of possibilities, none of which easily explains the rather dramatic cooling. You can feel this directly by placing your hand near one of those negative ion generators. It feels like a cool breeze. There just isn't enough ion wind to explain this. Likely the fluid boundary layer is broken down, giving more direct access to the surrounding air. The effect on red hot metal is not easily accounted for by either the ion wind or boundary layer break- down. I've no actual calorimetric data on it, but you really have to see the thing first hand to appreciate it. I'm surprised no commercial application has been made of this.
