AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating a practical ionocraft using technologies like microchannel plates or electron multipliers. The original poster expresses a keen interest in the concept, linking it to their studies in electronics and quantum physics. However, the thread was closed due to the use of a poll format, which is not permitted in technical forums. Participants are encouraged to rephrase their question without a poll and consider posting in a more appropriate forum, such as Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace. The topic raises intriguing questions about the potential of flight without moving parts.

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 microchannel plates or electron multipliers, to produce a viable ionocraft that could actually have a practicle use. Do you think this is possible? Give your opinion(of course, with some reasoning).

Welcome to the PF.

We generally do not allow polls in the technical forums here on the PF (as opposed to the General Discussion forum, where polls are generally allowed).

I have closed this thread. Please re-post your question, but not in poll form. Also, you may want to post in the Mechanical Engineering/Aerospace forum instead, which would seem to be a better match for your question.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
