    3. It can get a bit of speed
    4. Add more

    I've been trying to build most of these projects from scratch until I found your Keystone Science page. It's so hard for me to find good information on this and you speak a language I understand. You remind me of the best instructor I've ever had when I was still a student. I trust the information I gathered from him more than I do any other today. You really are a life saver.
    Thank you so much for all the HELP!

    Always seemed like the more simple ones like this we're stronger lift..

    It would be great if you could make a high-voltage rectifier bridge made from household materials! Taht way we can all use our neon sign transformers to make this!!
    If you do, you should look up mercury vapor rectifiers, these are what Tesla used in big elevators that had Edison motors in them. I am sure you can make something analogous to it with carbon from a pencil and maybe salt water or,
    even hacking four small florescent lamps!
    It would be great to see what you come up with!

      That would probably end bad.... Maybe it's the whole "High voltage exposed wires" thing, or maybe it's the "I have oxygen ions flying around my desk" thing, but it still sounds bad. I would imagine having ions getting close to a computer probably wouldn't be preferable, either, because electricity. Judging by the fact you're commenting on youtube you likely have one of those little black boxes of circuitry and tech-wizard magic.

    First, thanks for making these videos, I thoroughly enjoy them! II my question occurs around 5 minutes in your video during your explanation of how the ion thrust is created. Specifically, I'm assuming that electrons are also missing the positive pole when they go zooming across to the left . If so, Why do more electrons miss the negative pole than the positive Pole when zooming across to the right? If my assumption is wrong, then why aren't electrons missing the positive pole when they Zoom across to the left?

      The mentality of people in the UK is really bad.
      I was suggesting making a model rocket the other day and my freind imediately started thinking up reasons why it probably isn't legal.
      He just couldn't imagine my being allowed to make a rocket.
      The sad thing is, he is probably right about it being illegal.

    If the flyback coil output is AC, how did you convert to DC for the lifter? Does your transformer include a rectifier circuit? Does it make a difference if we run the transformer with an external primary as opposed to using the internal primary?
