The discussion centers on the feasibility of using electricity to replace heat in the process of making hot air rise. Participants express skepticism regarding the possibility of achieving buoyancy through electrical means instead of thermal energy. The consensus indicates that traditional methods involving heat remain the most effective for creating lift in air. The topic also references a previous discussion on the same subject, highlighting ongoing interest and inquiry into alternative methods of generating lift.

zboy said:Hello all, i was wondering this i doubt it but would it be possible to somehow replace the heat in hot air with electricity to make the air rise like it was heat but it's not? I would like to know if this is somehow possible I'm a bit of a noob on this so any help would be good thank you.
