To find a way to produce more thrust than this one: Ion Thruster, using only electric current.

No. It leaves with the opposite momentum. The velocity vector is flipped in the blue section.iridiu said:What if the system is splitted in 3 sections: blue, yellow and red?

Blue section - fluid flow in this section is constant preserving the velocity vector, the mass in this case comes into pipe and leaves the pipe with the same momentum.
In these rudimentary constructions I acquired a superior thrust force...
At least it's not magnets again.CWatters said:No doubt the moderators will be along soon to close the thread.

In that first case the floating platform reverses the linear momentum of the water, so it's pulled out, and the elastic tubes (which also straighten under pressure) make it swing.CWatters said:Just in case he doesn't get it...

It's not a matter of opinion, but of experiment. Why don't you replace the spiral with a straight piece? Any honest experimenter would have done this control test on his own.iridiu said:I know we do not have the same point of view,
The purpose of circulating a fluid at a very high speed in a spiral pipe is to increase the rate of flow and create turbulence, which can improve heat transfer and mixing in industrial processes.
The speed of the fluid in a spiral pipe is determined by the rotational speed of the pipe and the geometry of the spiral. The faster the rotation and the tighter the spiral, the higher the speed of the fluid.
Using a spiral pipe for circulating fluids has several advantages. It allows for a higher flow rate, increased turbulence, and improved heat transfer and mixing. Additionally, spiral pipes are compact and can be easily integrated into existing systems.
One limitation of using a spiral pipe for circulating fluids is that it may not be suitable for highly viscous fluids. The tight spiral may cause excessive pressure drop and hinder the flow of these fluids. Additionally, the high rotational speed may require more energy and maintenance costs.
Spiral pipes are commonly used in industrial processes such as chemical reactions, heat exchangers, and wastewater treatment. They are also used in research and development for mixing and agitation purposes.
