@zomon3333 7 лет назад

That would probably end bad.... Maybe it's the whole "High voltage exposed wires" thing, or maybe it's the "I have oxygen ions flying around my desk" thing, but it still sounds bad. I would imagine having ions getting close to a computer probably wouldn't be preferable, either, because electricity. Judging by the fact you're commenting on youtube you likely have one of those little black boxes of circuitry and tech-wizard magic.

Where I live, everything is illegal. Forget about a screwdriver in your pocket when you go out and you could have problems if it is found in a search. The mentality of people in the UK is really bad. I was suggesting making a model rocket the other day and my freind imediately started thinking up reasons why it probably isn't legal. He just couldn't imagine my being allowed to make a rocket. The sad thing is, he is probably right about it being illegal.

@Dragonmastur24 7 лет назад

Great vid! It would be great if you could make a high-voltage rectifier bridge made from household materials! Taht way we can all use our neon sign transformers to make this!! If you do, you should look up mercury vapor rectifiers, these are what Tesla used in big elevators that had Edison motors in them. I am sure you can make something analogous to it with carbon from a pencil and maybe salt water or, even hacking four small florescent lamps! It would be great to see what you come up with!

@World_Theory 7 лет назад

Putting the lit candle next to the thruster was a good idea. It gave me a much better idea of the air flow being produced; which was quite a lot!

@dp0813 7 лет назад

First, thanks for making these videos, I thoroughly enjoy them! II my question occurs around 5 minutes in your video during your explanation of how the ion thrust is created. Specifically, I'm assuming that electrons are also missing the positive pole when they go zooming across to the left . If so, Why do more electrons miss the negative pole than the positive Pole when zooming across to the right? If my assumption is wrong, then why aren't electrons missing the positive pole when they Zoom across to the left?

@noalear 7 лет назад

I'm new to your channel, but this was pretty cool. I imagine if you wanted to increase the thrust you'd need more voltage, large gap, more materials, and then it wouldn't fly? If that's the case.. How small can you make these? I'm thinking microdrones powered by a Tesla?
