Step-by-step explanation:
The electric field is normal to any conductor charged surface, then any negatively charged sharp end will concentrate the electrons in order to achieve that (being rejected by the others on main body), that also implies a huge voltage drop nearby the edge, meaning high electric field in the direction aimed by the sharp end, that field becomes strong enough (when charged by electrostatic machines) to propel electrons out causing air movement in that direction (a flame will bend because of that wind).
Ion wind, ionic wind, coronal wind or electric wind is the airflow induced by electrostatic forces linked to corona discharge arising at the tips of some sharp conductors (such as points or blades) subjected to high voltage relative to ground. Ion wind is an electrohydrodynamic phenomenon
