These Planes Are Propelled With Ionic Thrust

Ғылым және технология

In this video I show you how to create ionic thrust using electrodynamics to create air flow with no moving parts. I show you how ionic wind is produced in order to make ionocrafts and lifters fly. I also talk about ion thrusters used in space. I test if they work in a vacuum.

    Hopefully someday a person with the vast knowledge you two have will build a controller and run a hyperdrive system like Gerard Morin was trying to build, if the electric companies can use their skin effect energy to pull the ionic energy out of the atmosphere to feed our transformers, building a frequency controller to run the edrum motors should be no problem.

    For some more infos on the ion thrusters on spacecrafts: In comparison to chemical rockets the exhaust speed can be way higher (exhaust speed correlates to efficiency). They are already used on satellites. They have a low TWR meaning they produce very little thrust in comparison to their mass. The gas used is mainly xenon and doesn’t contain any energy that is used for propulsion, it’s just used as mass that can be thrown away(to create thrust ). The energy comes from solar arrays / batteries.

    @@jemlittle1787 Mass that can be thrown away is the way all space travel works. You move by throwing away the uninteresting bit (the fuel) to move the interesting bit (the spacecraft) somewhere else. Conservation of momentum requires this. Thankfully, there is no Conservation of Interesting Bits. In fact, the center of mass for the spacecraft and fuel remains stationary, at least barring outside interference, and the fuel just ends up over here somewhere, and the spacecraft ends up over there somewhere. The question is exactly how efficiently can you convert into movement the throwing away of the uninteresting bit. Conventional rockets are not very efficient, ion thrusters are very efficient.

While they figure out the science of it, we'll buy big trucks and gas guzzlers as incentive to lead to something better. My position is to support the expansion and growth of the current industry throughout the process which frees us from that burden. They've got tons of funds, and some of the smartest guys on the planet, so there's no reason they couldn't flood our markets with infrastructure funds and investment opportunities. If we keep them on our side, they'll be sure to keep us with new engines. There will always be an oil industry, but who knows, they might find that diversification of resources earns them even bigger rewards.

    It's INCREDIBLY inefficient. First of all you need high voltage, which means heavy batteries and tons of power. And the heavier battery, the harder it is to move the object. Think about how much power you would need to push a car uphill with wind, then think about how heavy your power source would have to be to give that much thrust. Now put that battery pack onto the car and it's too heavy to push again.

Ionic propulsion produces much less thrust at once, meaning you can't accelerate very fast, but it's so much more efficient that you need a very small amount of fuel to propel the spacecraft. You just have to wait longer for it to get where you want it to.

    Ion thrusters for space travel DO work in space. In fact their main usefulness is in space because they produce very little thrust for their weight so in the atmosphere they are pretty useless. However because there is no air drag in space the ion thruster's weak thrust can last for years because they are fuel efficient and a weak thrust over years ends up giving you more total acceleration than rocket engines. So Ion Thrusters for modern spacetravel are mostly useful for long lasting missions.

I’m sure that there are top secret technologies that the government has created that are far note advanced. And if you can do this test on such a small scale I can only imagine what it’s like at a full scale. I am certain that we will be able to use this technology in the aeronautics industry and from what I’ve learned on other channels I know that there is an abundance of power surging in the upper atmosphere as low as 150 feet that planes can access without having to have a great deal of onboard energy cells.
