This is the same thing the Ionic Breeze uses (yeah, those Sharper Image commercials). The reason it helps cooling so much is that it moves the air directly over the cooling fins. Normally, as you blow air across cooling fins with a fan, a thin layer of air directly over the fins stays relatively still while the air above it moves. With the ionic wind method, that layer of air is moving too, which greatly increases conductivity.
