When you stack your thrusters, the one behind the other should be downsized smaller than the one in front

So interesting to see these results. Ionic thrust could have a lot more to give. However, I think this purely experimental approach is very slow. Maybe good for CZcams but not serious development. What are the fundamentals behind it? What equations can be written about it and what rule of thumb principles can you get from them? What could CFD tell you about it as well. If CFD is showing coherent results to practice then you could do topological optimization quicker there?

You could possibly improve this by breaking it into segments starting with an intake followed by alternating acceleration and compression stages and finishing up with an exhaust. I estimate that something like this could produce twice as much thrust as the most powerful rocket engine in a comparable size to the Pratt & Whitney JT8D Aircraft Engine.

How about if you mix this with idea of princible turbofan and build it inside of the wing? If you build this by shape of hexagon thrusters drag more airflow than it self can produce. Like if you try to blow a big plastic bag full of air, it's more effiecent to blow from distance of the bag than put it straight to you mouth. If these thrusters create the wing shape it shelf and using that "turbofan" -idea it would create more lift.

Hry plasma, i know you've moved onto neweer designs, but i believe that going back to the ionic wing will be of greay bemefit. If you see my comment, can i email you a concept of a prototype i have in mind. Maybe it will help increase your thruat output.

I’m certainly not well versed in physics but hopeful that nuclear fusion will be attainable in the not so far off future. The world has an insatiable appetite for energy and fusion will go a long way in preventing war, at least based on energy needs.

This must be how alien ships are moved.

how do you get the time and fund to do all of these cool experiments? I love your experiments and videos

You'll do this but what about the Biefeld-Brown effect? Seems way more interesting than this basic s***. I'm guessing you're either scared or paid for.

I just have to say I have been a Bill Oddman fan for years now and the fact that the chaotic menace that he is has brought people together for OS is kinda amazing. He’s like the general no one can predict.

Love the part where he shows us how to do it

I’m gonna make an ionic radiation thruster, wish me luck!

Thanks!

i cant find the modern version on amazon or anywhere. Does anyone know where to buy it?

I love seeing Excelon products in your videos. 🥰

I think you shouldn't use the serial configuration, you are losing efficiency. You can combine ionica thruster and induction system to achieve better result -> feel like housing fan with no visible blade. L'et me know what do you think about ;)

Try putting one electrode to your shoe so that its grounded and the other to your self now you got shocking powers

If you stop converging the flows by removing the 20 deg angle of the profiles only then the draft will pull the air from the center region of the triangle and should significantly increase the air flow.

you can mach the speed of the air in the stagnation point of the wing to reduce drag? like creating a simulated 0 frontal area drag? with just the drag of the air friction and air disturbence behind? my idea is that you get this with a hole from the front of the wing to the back with ionic thrust in the midle acceleratin the air to mach the air speed in front and back of the wing.

By god I m triggered - diminishing returns on speed are because of mv^2 so on same power you get square root on each acceleration stage. Please don't forget basic physics on a channel like this.

Boss.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how 1.d of the new design puts out more volume of air than so many of them combined together

I think everything gone wrong when nerds broke the life chain and began taking steroids

Is it worth to make it for a high school project ?! Thanks

I would love to see this in a plane, but it would be cool to see use of this technology to invent a silent hairdryer. People would pay a lot of money for that, and I guess you have everything you need already.

That is somewhat the approach that was announced by Lockheed-Marin's Skunkworks, several years ago, when they declared that a small fusion reactor was 'almost' ready to be produced. Still waiting for it.

I know nothing here.. but is it possible to add more surface area buy possibly designing the unit with a hexagonal flow area?

Given that you are attempting to test the power of convergence with the output, did you test to see if converging the resulting thrusters improved the results? Also, as others have pointed out, the performance of the thrusters needs a more comparable metric than just liters/second. Unless you are logging the power used to produce the results, the amount of air means relatively little. I'd also be interested to see the static pressure measurement of the output. Personally, if these perform efficiently enough, I think they'd be really interesting to see used in a pc or custom cooler. Even if they aren't all that efficient, I'm sure one of the other builders would love to try it out. LTT anyone? Edit: grammer

Excellent well-done, the future is now.

I have done this type of thing. If you create a surprisingly small B-field through the blade gap, then the arc will shoot right down the blade by the Lorentz force. If the blades were each magnets (axially) magnetized (PM)...or, alternatively, incorporate a couple of thin turns of tiny magnet wire (EM). No need for a fan, and you would also have the choice of shooting a capacitive discharge down the slot. --dALE

Could this be the ticket for Ionic thrust classic rocket spin around the globe getting faster and faster where is a wedding circle of travel around the globe television space and being slingshot into deep space where is a full body on board of the vacuum seal casket with iron thrust engines powering its exit from the Galaxy into deep voided space like the Voyager probe this will be similar to that and with systems on board to to take pictures of section of space that travels through a true Star Trek funeral in in space that's what I want to be launched into deep space but doesn't cost me a lot of money cuz I'm a poor man thrush all you need to do is buy yourself a printer and have the plans to build out on a thrust engines and build enough of them with solar panels attached to your craft to buy your engine's power

AVP 👽 Start talking / you got that kind of time AVP 👽 Cool / catching 🪝 the bus is difficult now b/

I only trust engines is that the key for space travel for transporting vacuum sealed caskets crashed into space with full human remains on board no worries no cremation just full body like you'll be buried in the ground biotic thrust engines to truly have a Star Trek spring roll could this be the key bionic thrust engines ionic ionic thrust engines could be the key to be having a Star Trek funeral in space will there be a lot cheaper than a need a rocket launched into space going around a globe of Earth reaching higher and higher attitudes that you reach space slingshot in yourself into deep void a true Star Trek funeral a vacuum sealed casket stripped ionic ionic engines with computer systems to troll control the craft remotely from Earth in too deep space like the Voyager probe

It makes for good visuals to measure the word of the air, but surely the major gain is the volume moved per second times the speed?

Why not progressively decresing the size of ech thruster rather than the same size to take advantage of convergence

does anyone know what is the elecrtic ground(that wire on the handel) connected to?

And scale up the power with each segment

Do one with same design but smaller

VERY-INTERESTING :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

Better help sucks! Cool ion thruster though

so should that mean that the 10cm spark from my van deer gaaf generator is 300 000v?

this is genuine art. I'd love to be able to do my own projects like this, but i don't have a strong science background. where do you recommend a total beginner start learning?

I hope you got patents or the application for the parents on the go before publishing the video! Cheers man! Inspiring 👏🌟

What kind of massive fog maker is that at 14:40?

In single digit grades and age ... I made multiple Ionocrafts... People are still tinkering with this? Guess it makes for interesting CZcams content..

Vertical vector in a twisted spiral

Try reversing the direction of the middles one

Hey I am not an engineer but can you make it round so you can suck in more air with out loosing the space in the middle. Like a normal jet engine but withe out the blades so I get the structural integrati from a circle and mor air flow ? And if it is not possible why or wat is the downside ?

Please, please apply the same style of design to your ionic air thruster... you will be amazed at the results... the leading edge radius has a huge effect on airfoil efficiency and hence resulting airflow drag...

Hope i dont sound too stupid im only a mechanic but could you get get usuable amount of extra air velocity from a smoother material for the thruster. Im sure you're only using 3d printed material for it being cost effective and quick but im just curious how much of a difference the actual surface of the thruster makes :P if someone has the time to humor me 😁
