I wonder if this design would be improved by the addition of the "vortex plasma" effect. Basically the back ring would be replaced by a donut shaped magnet with the plasma encircling the center like a plasma propeller. It would increase the weight a lot but for a boat style setup, like your test, it would be interesting to compare thrust difference, if any.

You're genuinely brilliant! I was envisioning an aerodynamic ring with a center spike that could be the aft-end of a fuselage body. Sort of like a prop-fan. (I generally dislike propfans for many reasons. But for EHD, it makes sense. As accelerated airflow over wings changes stability and control). There is NO WAY I would have so rapidly come up with a solution let alone a brilliant one. 3d printing and electroplating was genius. The serrated training edge on the ring is really good also. The future improvement will be larger diameter, longer gap, more voltage.

Есть технология - плазменные двигательные панели, расположены в виде круглых зон по периметру и на днище летательного аппарата, а плазменный импульс создают ячейки в виде микрорельсотронов. Если на рельсовые контакты подать электроток, индукция разгоняет искру замыкающую контакты до космических скоростей. Понятно, что импульс, создаваемый рельсотроном, можно использовать не только для выстрела, но и для движения. Поэтому достаточно давно на космических аппаратах устанавливают импульсные двигатели, которые в нужный момент выстреливают плазмой для перехода с одной орбиты на другую. Есть статья в журнале МАИ «Абляционный импульсный плазменный двигатель». Но такие двигатели крупные: струя плазмы возникает при сгорании пластиковой заглушки между электродами. А у двигательных плазменных панелей, где соединены вместе мини-разрядники ячеек (как у плазменных телевизоров), там рельсотроны уменьшены до размеров шариковой ручки, собраны в плоские панели, которые по конструкции напоминают плазменные панели телевизоров. Расстояние между контактами незначительно - до 1 мм - перемычкой между ними становится искра разряда. Работают ячейки синхронно: стреляют струйками плазмы - искрами электроразрядов, ускоренных силой индукции. Скорость большая, количество рельсотронов в панелях доходит до сотен тысяч - суммарный двигательный импульс в итоге огромен! Разряды идут с мегагерцевой частотой, каждый импульс ударяет о воздух, который завихряется в тороидальные кольца. Эти двигательные панели используются для летательных аппаратов в атмосфере: снизу и по движению создается импульсами плазменных панелей столб кольцевых вихрей - так и летает... В вихревой струе, за счет вращения воздуха, падает температура - влага из воздуха вымораживается снежинками, на которых искрится свет, созданный электроразрядами панели. Получается некий «твердый луч», который при покачивании аппарата изгибается за счет искривления траектории отлетающих вихревых колец. Впрочем, эта технология совсем не супер. Летают они быстро и маневренны - из-за легкости аппарата, но от импульсных плазменных двигателей - СВЧ излучение. Грузоподъемность низка. Радиосвязи нет. Узкая ниша применимости - редкие шпионские миссии. Сейчас вообще уже неактуальны. Потому и рассекречивают...

Love your channel. it's challenging, so here's one for you. When magnets repel, it is called the Coulomb effect. If you squeeze this down to milli metres like 0,3 and pass a current across a doubled pair of ring magnets, tap a second positive and common negative you will get more energy out than you put in, the gap is sparked with ball lightning that increase electron flow...it will solve you weight problem and drive your units

@Ugly_Baby_Gaming 5 ай бұрын

hay @Integza I have made one of these today but used carbon fiber strands for my crown part. I part copper plaited the dry carbon so I could solder to it. I remembered seeing an aeroplane lightning conductor at the wing tip it was like a carbon areal that was frayed at the last inch. I know you have access to carbon and plating you might want to try it as it gives hundreds of super fine ends for the corona to build up on. solder and then trim with scissors to get them even and then fluff them up a little.... my only Issue is the units want to blow up all the time need to be super careful with the voltage and amps... you may find it hard to plate a carbon cloth as the conductance will vary with it being loose try clamping the ends between two blank circuit boards/ flat copper etc or failing that plate each strand separately

It seems like one of the challenges of reducing the thrust to weight ratio is the fact that you can't miniaturize the capacitor that you are using. My gut reaction is that the tube/ring is undersized for the capacitor and needs to be scaled up to increase the thrust and maximize the overall thrust to weight ratio. Some experimentation may be required to determine the optimal assembly for your capacitor. One side idea that I had was what if you had a closed ring with these. Use the thrusters to continually accelerate the gas in the ring. Once up to speed, you would open the ring/divert the flow and allow the gas to flow out a nozzle. The benefit of this would be in situations like space where you need to conserve the accelerant/gas. The downside would be that the thrust would be in pulses. Overall, in space small, efficient bursts of thrust seem to be preferrable over a continuous inefficient flow.

@Aim54Delta 8 ай бұрын

The real challenge is voltage conversion. There are a few possible solutions. First is to use a ganfet matched to an air gapped transformer with high turns ratio. You could play around with ferrite doping, but core saturation and hysterisis become a headache and I think the most reliable/consistent design will be one designed to go coreless that will fit into the light weight category. Still, the coil profile will become an issue to prevent arcing between windings or into the primary side. This can be done, but there are some differentials we need to consider. We can modulate power three ways. Duty cycle, current cutoff, and voltage. For all coils, for any given current in them, they contain a set amount of energy. By calculating the time constant, we can derive what a half wave looks like. That gives us energy over time for power - the duty cycle being the ratio of time available for energy handling vs the time used. We can modulate power, then, by effectively modulating the pulse repetition frequency. The other way to throttle the design is to switch off the fet at a set current that is below the minimum voltage drop. This would not likely be necessary, but may have its applications if a low prf proves problematic and creates sparks or otherwise results in unstable corona behavior at low power envelopes. The third way is supply voltage. As time constants relate to the properties of components, not the applied voltage/current values, the power available to the circuit goes up as a square of the maximum voltate it is allowed to be driven at, provided the components can tolerate it. Incorporating all of that into a design shouldn't be that hard and then programming it with a profile for the physical drive would allow it to potentially optimize performance according to various scenarios. A more novel design would be the use of a standing wave multiplier in a reflex klystron tube with a power microwave circulator (or even direct microwave plasma production) for rectification and re-amplification. This is a novel approach, but it was what I used about 15 years ago in a proposal for a similar project. You might be able to use the same concept with a network of circulators and "resonant cavities" (using wires and innate capacitance to emulate a cavity) to make a microwave reflection charge pump... which is like having a klystron with a different type of headache than those caused by klystrons. Lc networks are basically the same thing but at much lower frequencies. We need high frequency, here, to get the most out of small component values that fit our weight budget.

@@brynbailey5482 Well, obviously, I would insist genius, but my adult IQ scores don't quite hit genius (though I suspect my IQ in gradeschool was over 140 - they brought in some people to give me special tests - so, either extremely smart or extremely dumb and subjected to an experiment where I was told I was pretty smart to see what happened - which I like to pretend is the case for comedy's sake at times). I have ambitions to one day create a range of videos on this and to build designs to demonstrate various principles. I'm not there, yet - I can't really focus on projects and hold a day job well, but am getting a business or two set up so I can manage my income/time ratio a bit better, and do some of those types of videos. I do appreciate that you don't just jump to turbo encabulator assumptions, though. We live in a society that has been so competitive that word salad is everywhere - both from a "I know things" standpoint and from corporate jargon that uses many words to say nothing when not trying to convince you that sodomy with a metal file is fun and enjoyable. If you want an example of one thing I was talking about - look up reflections in variable frequency drives. Because of the difficulty in matching impedance in practice, using VFDs in real world solutions, the higher frequency switching used to create the descrete steps of a sinusoid propagate and reflect off of the coil of the motor, creating return voltage spikes which can be higher than the source voltage. This is the same basic principle of a klystron except it uses resonant cavities along a traveling wave tube to enhance the effect. You can often emulate transmission line lengths by using cpacitors and inductors, so it may be possible to use transmission line with attached lc tank circuits to emulate a klystron at lower frequencies than what is practical for a klystron. At some point, annequlibrium is reached between power in, component loss, and transmission despite impedance mismatch. We are using the lack of impedance matching to build up enough voltage so that what goes through the mismatch equals power in.... with potentially unacceptable conversion loss - but it's possible it could be more efficient than a boost, buck-boost, flyback or similar converter as those are usually only 85% efficient at best, and at these conversion ratios tend to be in the 60% range. That would be a lot of resistive loss for a set of resonant lc networks, so it might be competitive.

I don`t know a lot about physics, only as an Applied Mathematics and Computer Science bachelor but here some thoughts after i watch this video. 1) Since you have figured out a best effective distance between cathode and anode( can we call them like that?) you can try to combine multiple pairs of cathodes and anodes in one tube. 2) As we saw in your video, cathode and anode tubes are not equal in diameter, so you can make each pair in the shape of cone, wrapped in light and thin isolating material, so you can stuck them more closely (like ice cream cones in the store, but with bigger hole in the center .). Maybe with this approach it will be better to use round- shaped wires for more compact solution. 3) Assuming that air molecules are bombarded by electrons, which, as we can clearly see from the video, move only on the "surface of the cone", there is no need to make big gaps between each layer of isolation a.k.a individual ionizer, because the air in the center is not affected by the electron strikes and in essence it seems to me to only slow down the flow (with individual ionizer) 4) perhaps when combining several ionizers, there will be some "air traffic jam" in the center of the tube. It may be better to configure the switching on of individual ionizers using a microcontroller. You will have to tinker with the configuration, but it will save energy consumption and "push" the air through the tube more efficiently. Thank you for the video it was very interesting, hope to see more updates on this project soon

Make the emmiter out of a thin wire mesh. Bonus points if you can coat it with cvd diamond coating. Make the collector into a kind of reverse rocket nozzle with a spike in the middle. This way you maximise the surface area for a minimum of form drag. If you are seeing corona discharge , the electrodes are too close.

@user-vk4el4yk9p 6 ай бұрын

You should make a ionic engine that is built into the wing not just placed on top of and the thrust should move with the natural flow of the wing to not cause any unneeded Greg / turbulence to improve efficiency.

@jackfairman7371 8 ай бұрын

I think quite an interesting model using this would be to attempt to hook the thrust rings in series, where you could potentially have a whole chain of thrusters powered off the one power source until the electricity lost it's ability to arc through the air. Maybe even with each ring getting larger. This might help to increase efficiency and thrust, and adequate testing would be cool to see along side various iterations of the series hoops. It may also look cool having multiple chained with multiple arcs. As for use of the thrusters I think attempting to make a glider would be a cool use!

It would be interesting to see the effects of air pressure on the thrust of the ionic engine, ie. running in a vacuum or pressurized chamber. Also, it might be worth mentioning that ionic engines produce a bit of ozone, so a well ventilated area is a good idea.

@TrainWorxStudio 5 ай бұрын

The needed current for galvanising is calculated by the surface, there is no general maximum. Also the electrolyte induces negative or positive tension on different currents, you need to find out with a very thin plate, where the optimum (tension-free) for your specific electrolyte is. The voltage shows, if you overload the part. Best voltage is 1-2 volts, but with small surface even this is too much. Go with the current calculation ( we use 2A/dm² ) and only mind voltage above 2 volts by checking the contacts

Video Idea : You should use a Cockroft-Walton Generator/Multiplier for generating the high voltage required, it's pretty simple and can be made very lightweight with little effort. And as you're electroplating the positive side with copper, why not try using LW-PLA lightweight pla filament for the electrode and the housing? And maybe use a ducted design? it's gonna outperform this version in many ways. P.S. Tomatoes are disgusting!

@alainleduigou7106 Ай бұрын

Beautiful video! So "simple" devices! the touch of an artist! I have a question please : do you use a metal coating on the ion receiver part for electrical resistance reasons? (I mean, a very thin layer, so that the Li-Ion battery can be used to deliver the current).

Love the video and the accessible information. The suggestions of a compressor to make a jet engine is along the lines of what i was thinking. Also could a positive charge at the front of the tube help attract the electrons and a negative charge help expell them increasing thrust (and weight :( What happens if you turn the thruster around and point it at a sail?

It would be interesting to see a hovercraft that uses this kind of thruster, maybe you can use the same transformer to power multiple thrusters to reduce the weight.

@calebb5106 8 ай бұрын

i would attempt to use 2 transformers for 3 thrusters, it would be just a little lighter, but the transformer also wont be doing as much work if there was only one of them running 3 thrusters

@thorwaldjohanson2526 8 ай бұрын

A hovercraft needs so much more thrust and pressure. Ion thrusters have very low (specific) thrust. I mean you could put it on top of a hovercraft being floated by a fan, but then you may as well power the whole thing with a fan.

@emilracovita8421 8 ай бұрын

@@thorwaldjohanson2526at first the skirt of the hovercraft can be powered by a regular fan, but the moving of the hovercraft could be done with the ionic thruster. This way he could check and compare the speed of the hovercraft with different thruster models on a reusable machine.

@kirawr8064 7 ай бұрын

I believe the reason why the 3 thrusters were not going faster in the water is because the board they were on top of was now almost fully submerged which caused more drag when moving, hence slowing it down Basically the system needs to be much lighter to for it to work

@Anubis78250 8 ай бұрын

The actual thrust they output is laughably puny. These things have been around since the 60's and the reason they are only used in space is because it's the only place that the tiny thrust they output is actually useful.

@jarrodgreen4725 3 ай бұрын

I am just getting into IONIC thrusters and your design was an idea that I was curious about trying so thank you for that. I am wondering instead of placing them side by side, what would the thrust have been if you were to line them up in series? I am also curious what would happen if you were to introduce a heavier element for it to draw on other than air, maybe something like dry ice. I do apologize for my lack of knowledge in physics, but I am trying to educate myself, because I have a very specific project dream that needs a bladeless yet fuel efficient form of thrust. Again thank you for your experiments.
