I've been trying to build most of these projects from scratch until I found your Keystone Science page. It's so hard for me to find good information on this and you speak a language I understand. You remind me of the best instructor I've ever had when I was still a student. I trust the information I gathered from him more than I do any other today. You really are a life saver. Thank you so much for all the HELP! -Ricky Riccoboni

It's been 40+ years since I had Physics & Chem - this kinda brought back memories, but blew my mind!!
I learned something new. Thanks!
This is the first video of his that I've seen, but I like that he explains almost everything he says instead of what a lot of people do with just assuming you know what they're talking about
I'm really impressed! I never thought this would actually produce such an extreme thrust :o
I'm just waiting for the day when you show us how to make a warp drive. I learn more from this channel than any other on KZread.
Thanks for the great videos man, heard about you a while ago from another youtuber and can't get enough of your videos informative, descriptive, educational and awesome

Awesome Stuff man! Amazing and enlightening.
Yes! new vid! bout time, lol... I smile when I see your vids come up in my feed :)
Your videos are so interesting and I learn so much thank you for this amazing content!
Putting the lit candle next to the thruster was a good idea. It gave me a much better idea of the air flow being produced; which was quite a lot!
Excellent demonstration and explanation - really enjoyed it - If I can say, don't forget your units when you mention the charge on the electron but I guess it does not detract from the general enjoyment.
You're very good at explaining things!
Always wanted to make one thanks for showing.
"How to make an ion thruster" *device catches fire* *burns self* *high voltage, so this could kill You* "actually, don't make an ion thruster without training"
You deserve way more subs
Great video.. I used to see these all the time . Called Lifters.. people made some absolutely massive versions . Several feet across worth complex shapes Always seemed like the more simple ones like this we're stronger lift.. Many people used the flyback coils from old CRT monitors.. which were super common in the garbage at the time.. as LCDs were taking over .

Only the one shown on the website to the left though can carry its power supply onboard. it took a huge increase in power to weight ratio to do it! Please click on the purple channel icon to see 5 prototypes.
Awesome science, who would have thought those tiny electrons/ions had so much energy! A chance to win a scope is also awesome :)
Thanks for the lesson on ion thrusters! I want to be in that giveaway, an oscilloscope would be very helpful.

Great vid! It would be great if you could make a high-voltage rectifier bridge made from household materials! Taht way we can all use our neon sign transformers to make this!! If you do, you should look up mercury vapor rectifiers, these are what Tesla used in big elevators that had Edison motors in them. I am sure you can make something analogous to it with carbon from a pencil and maybe salt water or, even hacking four small florescent lamps! It would be great to see what you come up with!

This right here is part of my project bro it's building the wave links and feeding them into the thruster so you control how fast you go

Awesome Video Man !!
I'd love to be considered for the giveaway! You talk about things that are so boring in a classroom environment, and you make them fun and awesome. Thank you.
This video was sick!
First, thanks for making these videos, I thoroughly enjoy them! II my question occurs around 5 minutes in your video during your explanation of how the ion thrust is created. Specifically, I'm assuming that electrons are also missing the positive pole when they go zooming across to the left . If so, Why do more electrons miss the negative pole than the positive Pole when zooming across to the right? If my assumption is wrong, then why aren't electrons missing the positive pole when they Zoom across to the left?
Im from the deep south. You think you could exlaine this using biscuits, gravy and grits?
Super... you made it perfect
Excellent video I built one of theses years ago great fun
Great work Nate!

That would probably end bad.... Maybe it's the whole "High voltage exposed wires" thing, or maybe it's the "I have oxygen ions flying around my desk" thing, but it still sounds bad. I would imagine having ions getting close to a computer probably wouldn't be preferable, either, because electricity. Judging by the fact you're commenting on youtube you likely have one of those little black boxes of circuitry and tech-wizard magic.

I owe u just for explaing what i wished i could explain to people when im building my projects. Love ur channel i fully subscribed and hit notification's💯👍

Hey this is the first vid of yours I watched and with in the first 1 min 30 I liked and subbed
Nice science..thanks bro
Very nice. Thank you. You rock. Something about coils in the future..?
Love it!
I'm new to your channel, but this was pretty cool. I imagine if you wanted to increase the thrust you'd need more voltage, large gap, more materials, and then it wouldn't fly? If that's the case.. How small can you make these? I'm thinking microdrones powered by a Tesla?
wondering if patents would be a barrier to mass producing personal space vehicles with this tech :D also grats on sponsorship. been watching your channel for a couple years now and ive learned a great deal from you. ill take part in your give away .
thank you so much

Where I live, everything is illegal. Forget about a screwdriver in your pocket when you go out and you could have problems if it is found in a search. The mentality of people in the UK is really bad. I was suggesting making a model rocket the other day and my freind imediately started thinking up reasons why it probably isn't legal. He just couldn't imagine my being allowed to make a rocket. The sad thing is, he is probably right about it being illegal.
you are so awesome!!!!
thank you for my next science fair project
Good video.
Awesome!
I learned more from you in less time than an entire year in honors chemistry
I had no idea this was so simple to implement! Or... at least you make it seem that way! lol
damn i never knew an ion thruster was so damn easy!!! Good video!
Nice Experiment
A pocket oscilloscope you say? That sounds so awesome!! I would love to have one. Regardless great vid as always!
this is really cool didn't know there were model ion thrusters!
Hey i wanted to know the right amount of DC voltage required to ionise it ? It would be great if specified ..well a great video Keystone..very useful nd educational✌🏻
Great videos thank you The 1st symbol in the equation for finding the amount of Ions created. I wonder if the developer's of the crafts in Star Wars Designed the Empires T.I.E fighter to look like it turned on its side being T.I.E stands for Twin Ion engine. Probably not but I find it a interesting coincident To look where we have come from in the past 100 years. We almost seem to now be doubling the speed in advancement not all in the same field but in general. From black powder launched anvils to Orbit lol Great videos. As an Electrician Nicola Tesla and his vast advancement in electrical technology. The small Tesla Coils. Perhaps a DYI video on building a Faraday cage in bag or box form for cell phones would be a great addition to your E.M.P series.
Thats dope af
If the flyback coil output is AC, how did you convert to DC for the lifter? Does your transformer include a rectifier circuit? Does it make a difference if we run the transformer with an external primary as opposed to using the internal primary?
What kind of pen do you have? It looks awesome and I'd love to buy it just because of how it writes and how cool it looks.
Count me in on that giveaway! That would be really useful for work and my hobbies!
Really nice. :)

I have a question that doesn't have to do with this video but a vid awhile back on making a high voltage power supply. I'm finally starting to work on it and I'm getting into electronics. Should I only use solder on circuit boards or should I also use it when joining wires? Secondly, is there any other way to prevent the flyback transformer from overheating without using oil?

Hey can we use high voltage suppy from step up module?? I have an 400Kv output.
Roughly how high of a voltage source would you say is required to create similar results? ... asking for a friend *ahem*
could I make a bigger version of this if I used like sheet metal and 2x4s and some car batteries

If the voltage is high enough technically speaking yes. And to the comment of it would only work in a vacuum he would need to add a fuel of gases in earth's atmosphere he would be fine if you had enough power.

I helped the channel.
That is quite interesting. Is all the air around the device being ionized or just specific atoms that are easy to ionize. And would it work better with just one type of gas. Also where are the fountain pens.
