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.
@boots7859

Yes, that sounds correct. Question is what is the MPG equivelent of Xenon they are carrying. Several orders of magnitude higher than molecular combusion IIRC.
@jemlittle1787

Mass that can be thrown away ? Thats a tiny bit flippant sorry. That tiny bit must be taken with and also gives a finite travel distance. Both the main reasons ion is touted as better this test just shows it fails on.

@@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.

@@datatwo7405 Well, I'm a supporter of seeing the Petro industry taking the lead on this sort of venture. 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.

@@ooneybird27 It's much more efficient to propel the fuel with an ionic engine, rather than just the pressure of the gas - although many spacecraft do use pressurized gas maneuvering jets! 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.

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.

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.

If I'm remembering correctly the problem with ionic thrusters is that while really efficient they have a low acceleration due to the low mass of the charged particles they use as thrust.
@ChAnimations
@ChAnimations 2 роки тому
@Mr. Ditkovich that will increase the thrust, but decrease the efficiency, because the exhaust velocity will be lower. For space based ion thrusters, the thrust is limited by the available electric power (usually up to a few kW). If you have more power, you'll have more thrust while maintainig high efficiency. So huge solar panels or a nuclear reactor would be the way to go for large and high-thrust electrically propelled spacecraft.

I've always wondered why we don't build wings with with an ionizing spike wing in front of it and a magnetic field array in the back blade of the wing... that way the spike wing would ionize the air, the ionized air would exert force on the spike wing, and the neutral air that's sent backwards across the actual wing to produce lift.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. While it may be true that the ions bounce back after hitting neutral atoms/molecules, the main thrust is in the initial pushing of the ions. If the electric field pushes ions one way, then the source of the electric field must be pushed the other way with equal force
@noabsolutelynot3660
@noabsolutelynot3660 2 роки тому
But the neutral atoms, the "wind" as he puts it, is moved using electrostatic repulsion from the ions, not the force generated on the ions themselves. The reactionary force to this is imparted on the ions, not the source of the field, but since mass is moving in one direction, it generates thrust on the direction of desired movement. And remember, the ions are moving opposite to the desired direction of movement, so the reaction force there is actually *helping*.
