    How to calculate the wind speeds produced by an ionic thruster

    Thank you for the reply! with this, I do get the best answer which is very close to the experimental value of the wind and I have consulted with my professor about it. He recommends we try to derive anything we can which is why I think it would be best for me to find a way to get the ion...

    How to calculate the wind speeds produced by an ionic thruster

    Thank you for the reply! I have looked into it and I agree, initially the voltage did seem too low for anything to happen however there s corona discharge at the thin wire which is visible in a dark room. What I am looking for is the speed of particles (molecules or ions) right when they exit...

    How to calculate the wind speeds produced by an ionic thruster

    Hi @Steve4Physics Thank you for your reply! Firstly, thank you for the pointers that will help me out here cuz this was my first post on this forum... Anyways, I really don't have a diagram but I do have a subpar image of the contraption These are the 2 electrodes. The one on the left of...

    How to calculate the wind speeds produced by an ionic thruster

    I have tried using the equations for the mobility of ions in liquids as that was the only thing I could find that addressed the issue. My explanation of the calculations can be found down below: I think all this makes sense but then I add values to it and the following results are produced...
