/diy/ - Do It Yourself

cont
I was thinking what are those ball things on the bottom
if the top dome is an electrode then the bottom domes could also be electrodes
what if it ionizes the air at the top, creates an elmag field all around the aircraft, pushes the ionized air around the skirt and fully utilizes the coanda effect and aerodynamic
this would make the ion aircraft highly efficient

the usual foil ioncrafts don't utilize any aerodynamic effects, they just push the air down which makes them highly inefficient
