Electro Kinetic Propulsion Is a form of propulsion
that uses electrostatic and or electro magnetic
force to create thrust.
Lifters are our primary area of research which is
technology based on Patent # 734,342 23 registered
by TT Brown in 1958. Which consists of a
sharp emitter and a much larger collector
that is separated by a fluid dielectric i.e.
(air, oil, etc) which when high voltage is applied a thrust
towards the emitter is created from the collectors
and ions from the emitter race to the collector
and many of them keep on going creating thrust.
Theoretical papers have been published by
Evgenij Barsoukov with Jean-Louis and Saviors' basic designs.
The theoretical work done so far by Evgenij Barsoukov has had a great impact on validating
and improving these theories and designs.
I have the pictures of one of my favorite lifters
it is a single cell lifter with a modified
design that I have been working on.
I have
a design for an autonomous lifter model
that
will be publishing in the following
months,
Here are the following dimension of
it are
L' 4 meters W' 2 meters and a height
H' .5
meters the design has a more conventional
looking air frame than most of the
designs
published so far. When I present it
to the
public it will reduce the laugh factor
and
I think it will give our community
a lift.
Here is top view in flight showing a small
corona on the back side of the lifter.
Some of the modification over the lifter
one are adjustable spares set in straw
segments.
spares have a en degree off set to
improve
rigidity. all balsa is 2mm thick then
cut
into I beams with lighting holes every
2
cm this close to the strength of the
2mm
spares but weighs 1/3 less than the
1 mm
x 2mm spares. This lifter flies with
plenty
of thrust to spare.
The picture below is a close up of the lifter
in flight.
