Sounds easy to make

Until you notice you are broke 😢

U forgot to add money

LOL just casually throws in the CNC machine after using a rotary tool. Flex much?

It would be fun to see you make another type of propulsion system. Can you try make a bladeless fan using a thin flapping membrane, maybe get creative with the design and try different shapes and layouts?😁

We shall !!!

hello@@integza

Would it be possible to surround the plasma with a magnetic field spiralling the ions and creating an electromagnetic propeller?

y'all can have that covered, but do y'all have a build off challenge covered?!?!?!

@@integza make the zeppelin a ball, put solar panels on each side and make sure to use two ion engines so it becomes a Twin Ion Engine Zeppelin :D

Most definitely for low power applications it's genius thinking

One of my favorite ytbers - any new videos soon?

It came to life ! 😁

Now try plasma thing on all periodic elements

Now try and make this into an aerospike engine. And can you measure the thrust of this?

Is it efficient ?? i mean a video about a comparisation between a boat or ziplin powred with this with another one powred with regular fan can very interesting.

You don't need a rudder. just connect different part of the rings to different electric potentials and you will have "solid state trust vectoring".

​@@JerkerMontelius Solid state thrust vectoring... thats a first

@@JerkerMontelius I would love to see this!

you can turn using differental thrust, some rocket launch vehicles already do this by reducing and increasing thrust on different engines unequally.

Heck, add a remote control chip to it!

Cool idea! Would love to see it in action. And hey, hope you win that giveaway!

@@SumitaRoy-hb7th I agree, but it may be a problem keeping the superconductors cool. You would also need some pretty big superconductors to keep it hovering. But if it happens, would love to see it.

@@subartaroy7080 I agree. But if anyone could do it, it would be Integza!

Желаю вам выиграть, хоть ваша идея и очень не проста в реализации. На данном технологическом этапе суперпроводник требует очень низких температур. Хотя об этом уже писали. Но я не об этом, даже если вы не выиграете, рекомендую вам приобрести 3д принтер, эта штука того стоит, ответственно заявляю, как 3д печатник со стажем 😉🍻

​@@user-is3tn9mj4vHonestly, I don't really comment on videos and don't even normally participate in giveaways cuz I know that I am probably too late to win at that point. But integza is a growing channel, and I commented on this video pretty early, so it seems like I have a chance of winning. But of course, life is a gamble, so let's hope for the best 🙏. As for the impossibilities, maybe integza could get a superconductor cooled using liquid nitrogen and use it? Like, if you use liquid nitrogen, then it would stay cool for a long time no doubt.

Scaled up, and layered like the first one for a multiplication effect, and if you put the whole thing in a shroud with a mild condenser at the end, this thing might actually be able to push a glider. Not very fast, but I bet it would at least work.

Perhaps a ionic driven turbine??

Wait...Does it work in water? That's actually an interesting idea....

♫♫ WE. ALL. LIVE. IN. IONIC. SUBMARINESSSSS. ♫♫🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@MrFunkyPunkie It depends, the whole idea is that the medium (the fluid) be non conductive. Water can be conductive.

@@MrFunkyPunkie Since water (at least salt or sea water) is conductive, the high voltages get shorted, there is however a related technology called MHD thrusters that does work under water for stealth drives. But its basis is not ions but electrolysis and magnetic fields

I was just about to say that🙄

Would that be possible even sir?

Ofc why not? Just scale down to a small version of a maglev. But i am still interested in seeing how to approach such a project

Put the air thing up side down look if it fly

Tryed making a hot wheels track with magnets 🧲 on track a car didn’t work would be great toy idea 💡 a hover car using cheap magnets a car ran on track

👍🏻🆙🆙🆙🆙 good idea

😊

Do you know if is this high voltage module dangeours? It is 400 KV, so I assume you will get a shock, but if the input is 5A at 6V, the output current should be something like 0.3 uA.

*laughs in Antarctic German*

A balloon aint a zeppelin.

@@u-k shut up nerd

Doesn't have a rigid frame or steering so no. It's pretty cool, but it's neither a world first nor a zeppelin.

Get a life@@EldeNice

Tiruliru is the best!

A boomerang with an ionic thruster!

He might come back to that.

Butane or propane, or some liquid fuel like kerosene using a venturi to atomise it.

thats fun idea

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...

Man glad to see you're back :)

id like to see a turbine version. i saw a cool jet turbine with empty core thats rotor ran on the outside cowling of engine & blade pitch was achieved by rotating one of the 2 rings they where fixed to forward or back. you could use the ionic wind to combust fuel air mix make a ionic scram jet :P

You have many examples, search "Biefeld brown"

I saw that u have a Serbian Nikola Tesla on ur wall. Great POSTER Nice video!

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.

​@@Aim54Deltacan't tell if turbo encabulator or genius.

@@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 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

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.

​@@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.

ya but that would burn through the battery in 1 second you would need to have at last 6 batteries and then adjust weight for the engines to produce enough base thrust without needing the booster.

SpaceX use ionic propulsion on their StarLink satellites to position them, so it's definitely a practical means of thrust.

@davidkelly4357 The thing is its practical in space since any movement stays constant since there is no natural resistance against a free floating object such as a satellite. On earth you have gravity, wind resistance and friction. All need to be taken in account to make it practical on a planet with an atmosphere and a strong gravity

@@lionofthesea5139 ah OK I get what you meant now. 👍 Well, we saw a small boat and a blimp get powered by this form of propulsion so if they can scale it we might have something practical on earth as well as space.

Hahah nice one

Haha yeah

This would be cool

I wanna see this

I am waiting for this video 😊

Yup. As others have found. Incidentally this is the air equivalent of an MHD caterpillar. Wonder if anyone has tried using my version yet? Seems to be very novel.

No, it really doesn't seem very difficult. All you really need is to just gradually fill up the balloon until it floats with the payload attached then let the air out little by little until it becomes neutrally buoyant so it doesn't float away. After that you tie off the balloon and by the time that happens it will be a little less than neutrally buoyant so it's good to go (you probably don't want it lighter than air because bye bye blimp).

Do you guys remember those swimming air sharks that were popular a few years ago? They were pretty easy to get neutral, just fill it so it rises then add a small amount of clay to weigh it back down. They had a weight that rolled forward or back to adjust the pitch, and you could “swim” up even if you were just under neutral.

I want to ask you something, the owner of the page he said i won the 3d printer and he send me on telegram and said send me shiping money , do you confirm that is him

​@@mohammedaminmannsour5370NO! NO! NOOOOOO!!!! Also, NO!

​@@mohammedaminmannsour5370NO, you are getting scammed

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.
