Onboard KV
Somewhere in my junk box I have an ignition coil pack from a 2000 Mercury. It is relatively light weight and has an output to drive spark plugs directly.
Now, I was thinking, a lightweight lithium battery or the like could be used with that (and maybe a voltage multiplier)to feed the inside of a sphere. In a very short period of time the exterior of the sphere will reach dielectric break down voltage of the surrounding air.
Now - what would be required, to put this on a lifter to supply the on board power for the thrusters?
Or is there a lot more power going on here than just the ES field stress?

...
harvey dont know if i understanded well..
you want to drive small thruster that will be coupled to the lifter, to propel it?
thats a very good idea!
@serfer can you point me simple schematics to make a small thruster similar to yours? you power it just like you power a lifter?

By L1 do you mean the primary? I think on a very efficient switching circuit, voltage multiplier might end up reduce the secondary voltage.Last edited by sucahyo; 07-15-2010, 02:38 AM.

I'm trying to see if there is a way to put the power on board so it will be mobile."Amy Pond, there is something you need to understand, and someday your life may depend on it: I am definitely a madman with a box." ~The Doctor

Look carefully at Charles Gilles thruster, it is using high voltage to operate.
It is a direct conversion between an Electric Field and Kinetic Energy. But there must be power involved - how much weight and how much lift acceleration determines the power needed.
At the very least, I think we can fly a helium balloon around with it.

TT Brown mention that static high voltage produce dampened acceleration. It will accelerate for 5 second and then reverse a little. Forget where I read it, sorry.
Maybe 50KV produce bigger thrust, but without pulsing, we only get momentary acceleration.

Serfer has a rotational thruster of some type there that runs for quite a while, about 27 seconds by my count, and looks as if it would just keep rotating as long as power is applied.
I don't have any practical experience with lifters, but I do have a lot of experience with Horizontal Flyback Transformers and HV systems among other things. So I'm learning here along with the rest =)"Amy Pond, there is something you need to understand, and someday your life may depend on it: I am definitely a madman with a box." ~The Doctor
