Water Power, in a Slightly Different Sense
For future reference (in how I respond), I will attend to as many questions as possible, depending on which ones receive the most mention. I do not intend to ignore any of you; I will attempt to get to all queries within this month. From the looks of it, a lot of people are wondering about how...- THP115

Water Power, in a Slightly Different Sense
In terms of chronological status, it has been months since I have posted here, and I am now an eleventh grader (with another Physics-based interest). As of now, there are multiple technologies in existence that could possibly be used to run vehicles in the near future: hybrid systems...- THP115

Can Ionocraft Technology Be Practically Applied in Modern Engineering?
Also, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionocraft#Construction, "A simple ionocraft derivative, also known as a lifter, can be easily constructed by anyone with a minimal amount of technical knowledge. The model in its simplest form has the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides...- THP115

Can Ionocraft Technology Be Practically Applied in Modern Engineering?
I am sorry that my post has caused this confusion. The way that I worded it is proof of the fact that I am still in high school, so I will try to be as clear as possible (the design mentioned is still a W.I.P.- work in progress). 1a) The varying magnetic field (will most likely use alternating...- THP115

Can Ionocraft Technology Be Practically Applied in Modern Engineering?
I think I may have produced a plausible idea (still in development); the use of electrical induction to wirelessly transmit electricity outside of a negatively charged container. The process would require the use of magnetism, but could possibly remove the need for plasma. Also could take down...- THP115

Can Ionocraft Technology Be Practically Applied in Modern Engineering?
The high power helicon looks pretty interesting; i wonder if it could be reworked to use primarily electricity.- THP115

Can Ionocraft Technology Be Practically Applied in Modern Engineering?
It appears as though the ion thruster maybe an answer so far. Would it be possible to use the Casimir Effect as an effective way to power the ion thruster?- THP115

Can Ionocraft Technology Be Practically Applied in Modern Engineering?
As a tenth grader with electronics on the mind, ionocraft is probably one of the most interesting topics I have run across(besides the Casimir effect; that, I believe, is quantum physics). But, what I am truly interested in is whether or not it is possible, with the use of technologies such as...- THP115
