im currently working on an ion thruster and this was extremely helpful! i'd definitely like a part 2!
This is so cool! I would love to see more videos and experiments with ionic wind! Thanks for making this!
Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm currently trying to find the time to build mk 2 which allows the distance between the electrodes and the diameter of the cathode to be varied.
Real engineering I love his channel I really enjoyed this great stuff and thanks again for sharing it with us👍
Thanks for commenting. So glad you enjoyed the video, I was a bit worried the knife and airgun crowds would be put off if I started doing other kinds of projects.
Awesome video. I am very excited for your newer version! Earned my sub
Thanks for commenting! This project has been on the back burner for a while but your comment has motivated me do do some work on mk II over the next week or two.
@@ThrHillSeeker great to hear! :D
Thank you for the nice simple explanation. The NERVA rocket engine was built in 1964, test fired many times in Jackass Flats Nevada. It was a ION propulsion rocket engine, I believe they needed the power from Hoover Dam to run the thing. There have been multiple engines built as material science could make a grid that wouldn't be consumed so quickly.
Thanks for commenting. That's super interesting, I'll have to read up on it! It seems that the real challenge is achieving great enough thrust to actually move the power supply.
Good work
Exactly what I was looking for, great minds think alike. It appears you can test with smoke to measure the even distribution of power. It’s a frightening device at high voltage, would need a pre filter on an industrial scale terrestrial system. Silent movement of air is interesting, no fan noise. I would like to see a kilo watt version of this in action. If it works on the ground it should work as well in space. Hum… interstellar nuclear drives seems well with in reach, what a great mission that will be
Brilliant, thank you. can't wait to see your next video/ project. FYI, testing the direction of the flame with the flammable tissue behind was the Tony "Spark" in you, eh?! 😉
Thanks for commenting! I made a new and improved version a few months ago. There's a video about it on my channel.
the video was really helpful, thank you so much.. and it would be great if u could give the link from where you bought the power-up module with its price
I’m your 1Kth subscriber
Hello, very interesting experiment, I want to tell you another idea, you can try it. Separate the screws with an insulating tube, or replace the screws with thinner steel nails. Some activated carbon can be placed under the copper wire, and the halo may be more obvious.
Hi, thanks for commenting! I've just got another step-up module to experiment with so will try out these ideas soon.
@@ThrHillSeeker have you tried using some capacitors and only short impulses of a higher voltage?
it might improve it and it should be more effective with the same kw/h
I wonder if this can be used to make an air blower than for example a hair dryer or living room fan. Having no moving parts it will last a very long time and it may even be more efficient?
Interesting, how would you build a small using ionic thruster to replace the drone motors
is there a static electricity generator that i dont need to use friction for!
i need tostatic cling paper to the wall without friction belts
Please make a video on how to make this.
what is the minimum voltage(High) requirement for testing this module?
Hey there, im trying to make one for a science expo, how
long can i leave the power module on, and what volatage should they be given and how long do they last? A reply on this comment would be super helpful pls
Muito bom... eu estava pesquisando como funcionaria um propulsor que me deu uma grande ideia... agora basta por em prática para fazer um protótipo. Você será lembrado meu irmão.
can the ion thruster be used for big aircraft with enough voltages
I was just wondering if you could make PVC pipe a ion wind thrust with noble gas , quartz powder and powder aluminum or something to harvest ions. I can't afford to experiment ,I'm not very familiar with electrical remedies for the voltage it will need.it would be halbach type magnetic field almost similar to a pinwheel I think if u can make the gas flo with that in mind it would be interesting
I need to see you make a better version pleaseeeeeee 😭🤩
Sick!
Bro can we use any other material to replace copper
How would one make the thrust stronger?
Please make an detailed version where you build it please cuz I wanna present this for my science experiment
Humble opinion Using heavy gage copper conductors and not steel screw nails for the anodes would seriously improve the experiment. It would likely be cheaper if not free as the wire pieces can be found in any kitchen reno scraps.
I'd like to see the improved version of this! Quick question, do you think this purges the air of impurities as it moves the air? You mentioned the ozone smell, and that's useful for purifying air, especially when this also moves air. Thinking of HVAC applications.
Thank's for commenting! Here's the updated version: ruclips.net/video/94xv8LGzqck/видео.html I'm currently working on mk 3 where I hope to use photoflash charging circuitry as the high voltage DC source to allow it to run for extended periods of time. Ozone is effective at oxidizing organic impurities is air. However, in a strict chemical sense, it won't "purify" the air as it will also introduce the products of this oxidation and various oxides of nitrogen.
Actually ozone is pretty poisonous for us human beings. The FDA states that it is a toxic gas.
What's the current running through this circuit?
Is it possible to modulate this wind with an AC source ?…
Obviously: if it’s the case please let us know how ! TIA
nice vid
Cool 🙂👍 make it fly.
Does it mean a 9v battery acctaully have wind generated?
Sir sorry but do the 2 terminals are connected to the nails and the copper flower and do the 7 nails joined together by wire and which one pls tell working on a project
The screws are attached to the positive terminal of the high voltage output while the copper flower is attached to the negative terminal. The screws are joined together in series using more bare copper wire and then insulated with hot glue. I hope this helps, good luck with your project!
@@ThrHillSeeker thankyou very much you helped me more than my teachers
Have you checked out Undefined Technologies and their ion propelled drone?
Thanks for commenting. I hadn't heard of this until now, I've just had a look at their website. Looks like an awesome project.
Silly question , this be used in outer space ? Or is an atmosphere required to continue reaction?
This can and has been used in spacecrafts however they carry their own supply of compressed gas rather than using the atmosphere around them.
And sir are all the screws are the joined by copper wire or normal wire
3 months late! But copper wires are supposed to be normal wires
Well done video, I enjoyed it very much even though I already have seen many others, also the video's in your description. It would be nice to see a better version, so if you can, please do. Subscribed:-)
Btw the shots where you are not entirely in the frame have better audio quality. The ones where you are in the frame, have a a bit too much echo/indirect sound. It'd made your video's audio quality more coherent if you find a way to get the microphone a bit closer to you in those shots, but there's absolutely no direct need for it, just nitpicking here;-)
Build Michael Faraday's Mercurial Cells for Piezoelectric Generation, add a Nikola Tesla Coil or Thyratron to that, Electrolysis Water into HHO like Stan Meyer, and use those Free Energies, 2 Billion Volts of Which, can Power Your Spaceship, use Rain Clouds on Exoplanets for Recharging, Water can be Purified For Drinking, include Ion Laser Traps for Qubit Quantum Computer Processing, You got this! 🙌
Respected Sir,
Which battery is used and how to make the battery, if I made by me.
Thanks for commenting! The battery is just 3 AAA cells in the carrier from a cheap LED torch/ flashlight.
Do you think it is possible to divert an air flow of about 300 Km/h using this principle but obviously using more voltage and more sosophisticated system?
Thanks for commenting! I honestly have no idea, based on what I've seen so far I'm not sure whether this would be possible. I'm currently experimenting with using a magnetic field to deflect the path of the ionic wind (with limited success).
@@ThrHillSeeker Hey there, im trying to make one for a science expo, how
long can i leave the power module on, and what volatage should they be given and how long do they last? A reply on this comment would be super helpful pls
Hell yeah
Sir is this copper wire and have you attached the copper wire rings with super glue
Yes, this is bare copper wire but the rings are made from one continuous length of wire bent into a flower shape.
That video you link is wrong. It can't work with ac. The transformer does use ac but the stepup is via diode charge pumps and results in hi voltage dc. Its the same way a cathode ray tube's hi voltage is made.
How many volts are needed?
It should be achievable with any voltage high enough to generate a corona from a sharp point. The SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering suggests that this can be as low as 2000 V.

the problem with that "spark module" is you cannot make it run continue. run more than 1 minute, then boom module broken
Find a disposable camera with a FLASH.
Before you send it off for processing.....remove the flash circuit components.
Congratulations.
No laws broken...yet you have the 'step up'you needed.
(if you want it cheaper still...go to a supermarket that sells them and check the expiry dates on them.Seriously,I lost count of the number of times I have caught them out on these over the years.)
Thanks for commenting! I actually have a load of photoflash circuits that I salvaged for a project a few years ago. Unfortunately the most I've ever got out of one was about 1200 V which isn't quite enough for this application. Seeing as I have a few though, I'm hoping to try putting the output of one through another to step it up further.
@@ThrHillSeeker added hint....film close to its use by date/out of date....
put it in the fridge
Apparently it lasts longer.....(according to my photographer friend🤗👈who knew?😸)
Powered by an ‘ion drive’ which uses high powered electrodes to ionize and accelerate air particles, creating an ‘ionic wind’. However, the ancient technology of the Great Pyramid of Giza can focus electromagnetic energy.The Great Pyramid would interact with electromagnetic waves of resonant length. Interestingly, the pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers. Understood on the basis of numerical modeling and analytical methods of physics. Once capable, a simple distribution grid of electromagnetic energy picked up by induced radio waves (this method is widely used in physics to study the interaction between a complex object and an electromagnetic field.) The Great Pyramid as a particle dissipating radio waves by resonance. Other materials with appropriate electromagnetic properties, and by discovering more pyramidal nano particles with a promise of practical application, older electronics were simpler such as switches or the distribution of energy by old taps.Faucets have also been assigned by various lights (compressor, generator, fan, lighting, etc.) to heavy duty applications, for example, levitation work and others. Practical application in nano sensors and efficient solar cells by the old technology of the great pyramid.
Nice but very poor sound quality
Okay so as its efficiency is so less and if used using transformers in planes...things could go wrong ...ionic propulsion isnt famous.
Teachers always explain things in the worst and most confusing way. Starting with specific terms instead of as a whole idea. Stop teaching now.
Please make a video on how to make this.
Thanks for commenting! It was a lot of trial and error so would have been quite difficult to film. I'm currently designing an improved version with a single, adjustable jet. I'll make sure to film the process once I start building it.
