NASA’s Evolutionary Xenon Thruster (NEXT) | Gridded Ion Thruster
A gridded ion thruster uses electrical energy to create, accelerate and neutralize positively charged ions to generate thrust. The discharge chamber is responsible for the creation of ions when neutral atoms and electrons collide while the magnetic field containing the electrons increases

How to Make/Build a Lifter or Ionocraft
A step-by-step guide to making a lifter/ionocraft, a small, very lightweight, triangular ion wind propelled device powered with a high voltage and substantial current power supply. This uses an aluminum foil skirt for the bottom electrode, a 30 gauge (30 AWG) bare wire for the top electrod

These Planes Are Propelled With Ionic Thrust
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. Get Your Ex
