I built an ion thruster using a 30kv color TV high voltage power supply a vertical needle and a piece of tinfoil shaped as a spiral with sharp ends for a 7th grade science fair project. They didn't believe I had built it and disqualified me... didn't discourage me at all. I read with great interest you video on Hall effect thrusters.
best video for explaning ion propulsion in depth
you deserve 10 million subs for this animation and explanation
Maybe one day :P
Now if we could just get rid of that robot voice…..
@@MaxfieldTwo its not always easy or affordable to hire a voice actor to read a well translated script, specially with less than a million subscibers across all their channels
This was the best ION THRUSTER video that i've seen on KZhead so far.
There is an interesting design of aircraft, but they rarely talk about it, because this thing is secret. The topic of pulsed plasma thrusters has been developed since the early 60s (see PPT - Pulsed plasma thruster) - they are usually designed for spacecraft. But we will talk about a little-known design - these are plasma propulsion panels for aircraft, where the same Pulsed plasma thruster, but reduced to the size of a pencil and stacked in the form of cells in the panel. The design resembles a conventional plasma TV screen, where there are also discharge cells that activate the glow of pixels on the screen. And plasma propulsion panels have long discharge cells, the arrester has a railgun architecture (just rail contacts or coaxial), and the ionized discharge air is accelerated there by the Lorentz force to enormous speeds - a kind of ramjet engine is obtained. Just imagine! - tens of thousands of small ramjet engines assembled in a panel and firing plasma synchronously with a huge frequency (hundreds of kilohertz). Thus, plasma propulsion panels create lift by pulsed emission of plasma jets from railgun cells. There are tens of thousands of cells in the panel, they shoot at a frequency of hundreds of kilohertz, a huge pulse is obtained, and the plasma swirls the air into toroidal rings - the aircraft is held on this air cushion. Horizontal acceleration is created by the same plasma panels on the sides of the device (they glow, from the side they look like "portholes"). Such devices like "triangle" or "disk" have been observed for a long time, they are mistaken for alien ones - but these are terrestrial devices. They are classified and used for espionage and secret actions. Pulsed electromagnetic technology generates microwave radiation, therefore it is harmful to health. They rarely fly - only military missions. Therefore, they are not suitable for a citizen. This maintained the secrecy. Now they are already declassifying - many people know about this secret technique. When declassified, they will be used for cargo airships. But there is a danger that they are now going to be adapted to deliver small nuclear charges to decision-making centers - such means of delivery are not specified anywhere, are not conventional. This lowers the threshold for starting a war. It would be necessary to declassify them as soon as possible. That's why I'm writing about it. However, I have written before - starting with the book "The Elimination of UFOs" and many articles. 👽👽👽👽👽👽
Thanks it's so usefull and amazing
Creative video, thanks for sharing :)
Kudos to scientists man...
man ur animation is great ur explanation is excellent ,never stop you will be more successful in future

Awesome video.
Another very informative video Eduardo. I did notice a little grammatical error around the one minute mark. On screen you have written "How does an Ion Thruster Works". If possible to edit this, either drop 'does' or the 'S' at the end of 'works'. Either way you'll be golden my friend. Please keep up the awesome work, and thanks for creating an English version for us non Spanish speaking folks.
Nice video 👍
great work 🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰
Excellent
Keep the hard work up!! what are u using for making this vid????????????
@VirtualBrain I'm curious how you edit and animate these quality videos. Could you explain to me how you do it please?
Thanks!
Great contect
How does it increase the efficiency when adding magnetic rings around the main container? Will it increase the particles' ionization rate or acceleration in a straight line?
you are awesome 👍🏻
I'm sorry I may have missed it but the hollow cathoide didn't make sense to me, why is the zeon atoms being pushed in from the back have a neutral charge wouldn't it then become negative and basically be a heavier electron that can be pushed out into the area there ionization is supposed to take place
There is an alternative ion thruster for use in atmosphere. It operates by ionizing air particles and attracting them to and through the oppositely charged grid, which also drags neutral air particles along with it, creating an "ionic wind." This guy has some vids on making one: kzhead.info/sun/ZbaNd9plp1-uq5E/bejne.html
nice video
Not bad demo of the Hall Ion Engine..
Truly great video, thanks!! There is a series of ion propelled vehicles/thrusters that lift themselves and their onboard power supplies against Earth's gravity! On my YT channel there are about 40 videos of them, and on the channel and website thorough verification is included as well.

@@Pavel_Poluian I have heard rumors of such a thing as well. The thing is, that making dense plasma that glows out of air is a VERY lossy process. There have been tube shaped ion thrusters for a long time and they are not efficient. I just don't think they would get enough thrust to fly a fast powerful military jet that way due to heat losses. Applying high currents to air just produces lots of heat and very little thrust. I would need more evidence of it to be a believer in that particular concept. Your comment is very well written, however.
@@KraussEMUS1 Thanks for understanding))) After studying all the materials about UFOs, it becomes quite obvious that since the late 40s of the twentieth century, a secret project for the development and production of aircraft has been developing in the USA, where the lifting force is created using high-frequency vibration. It all started with the vibrating umbrella-orthopter "Sky Car" by James Pitts, then the umbrella was closed with a dome and devices appeared according to the scheme of conventional electromagnetic vibrating speakers (membrane + inductance) - fragments of the membrane were found by a farmer in Roswell. Then they created piezoelectric motors or with small dischargers on the surface (they glowed all over the body due to air ionization), and now these are aircraft with plasma propulsion panels (because they are angular - that is, with flat surfaces). Thousands of discharge cells are packed tightly in the motor panels - they shoot plasma streams (railgun architecture - coaxial electrodes). The technology is quite mundane - it is known in the smallest details due to information leaks. For example, air ionization in coaxial railgun cells is created with the help of radiation (radioactive polonium is introduced into the metal). Devices of this type were used all 50-60-70-80 for secret missions (they took off, as a rule, from special submarines). With the fall of the USSR, their use by the United States was practically curtailed (in the novel "Little Green Men" by Christopher Buckley, a speechwriter for Bush Sr., a scene is described where the US president decides to curtail the project with "flying saucers"). The curtailment of the project can be recorded by the drop in magnesium consumption in the United States, since such fuel was used in fuel cells (magnesium tapes burned in forced galvanic batteries), this is 2007-2008. However, the development of the technology continued later in the Russian Federation and China (the technology was restored by reverse engineering methods for downed devices). Secrecy, however, remained, and there was no civilian use, because the technology is not suitable for this - harmful microwave from pulsed plasma engines (harm to pilots and the impact on electrical appliances inside and along the flight line). The payload is low (but one nuclear charge will pull.) There is no radio communication - unmanned vehicles can fly and maneuver only according to the program. Previously, there was a narrow application profile - rare spy missions (so that pilots do not receive a lot of radiation). Reconnaissance aircraft of this type were often observed at military bases, missile launch pads and airfields. They were even seen by peaceful explorers in the taiga, where glades were laid for seismic exploration - UFOs flew there to check whether military construction was underway (I myself heard stories about it))). I think this technology will be declassified soon, and cargo airships with flickering round plasma panels on the hull surface will appear in the Arctic sky.
The electron gun has a positive cover which helps guide the electrons out of the gun. However, wouldn’t this positively changed cover also attract electrons that are in the main plasma chamber?
Sweet vid but I got a question. Would using a heavier element such as Radon or Oganesson produce more thrust than Xenon or is it neglectable?
5:45 of kzhead.info/sun/kriSprmcmH6ghXk/bejne.html shows that a heavier the noble gas will indeed creates more thrust.
Brother not trying to be a karen But the word is negligible not neglectable
Radon Is radioactive and rare, and oganesson doesn't want to exist :(. It's interesting to see the potential of new technology though.
But you need conventional rocket to get into above the karmann, then switch to the mote efficient positive ion charged outward force. Roberv tBstey 6:38
Yo I have a question...If Xenon, as you said is neutral, is combined with electrons, which is negativlely charged, how does it make it positive if an electron is added to a neutral charge, like -1+0?
What about xenon? How much xenon is needed? Is it Recyclable?
Rick and Morty got this with "space word and car part." He essentially described a space carburetor.
Couldn't you use a force like this in a giant ring in zero g and create a turbine that could create giant amounts of power due to is ability to reach insane speeds?
What we out of xenon ??
so we need xeon right? like furel .If you run out of xeon fuel, the engine won't work?
if we would add intake of oxygen it could probably work at even lower speeds but in the void that wouldnt work
you can pack an awfully large amount of xenon into a storage tank, plus we are talking about atomic particles here. that supply is going to last a long time. also the engine isnt running continuously. just for acceleration and course correction. momentum and inertia take over from there.
Ion thruster used before 50 years!, no one talked about .
What's the intro song nome????
4:46 well,, Xenons are positively charged....
What do the thruster push off of in a vacuum?
It doesn't, it's the mass of xenon particles accelerated to high Velocity that creates thrust.
@@kurtdobson That does not answer the question.... To generate thrust you need to push against something. In a vacuum you have nothing to push on. On earth you can push against air which is why you gain momentum. Without any particles to bounce off, where do you gain your forward momentum?
@@ITubeYouK Gee that’s new information. We need to let NASA know that the various ion thrusters used on Deep Space 1 and 9 won’t work. These idiots thought that accelerating xenon gas particles produced usable thrust in deep space because it’s actually the mass being accelerated in one direction produces an equal and opposite force in the other direction. My day gig is a rocket scientist making space craft…
@@ITubeYouK A common misconception. If it were true nothing we put in space would be able to return. The physics principle is that if you accelerate a mass, there’s an equal and opposite force produced. So, rocket engines, ion and other thrusters work fine in space with nothing to push against. This is known as Newton’s third law of thermodynamics.
@@kurtdobson Newton's third law of thermodynamics? The Third Law of Thermodynamics states the following: the entropy of a closed system at thermodynamic equilibrium approaches a constant value when its temperature approaches absolute zero. This constant value cannot depend on any other parameters characterizing the system, such as pressure or applied magnetic field. At absolute zero (zero kelvins) the system must be in a state with the minimum possible energy. This has nothing to do with what you are stating. You are referring to a Mechanics problem.
good video BUT disturbing background music🔊
how fast does this ion thruster eject these Xe particles reguarding light speed? 70%? 80%? how close they get?
Speed of light Is 299 792 458 Meters a second or 300 000 kilometres a second , so 80 percent of this would be 240 000 kilometres a second which Ion thrusters cannot reach as of yet Hope this helped you put the speed of light into perspective
the video states 10km/s
0.0001%
It's about 3/10,000ths light speed, or .03% the speed of light.
it is easier to spin the spindle and without strong overloads in just 1 g. every second with an interval of 0.1 throw a cam along the direction vector. in 6.356 hours the speed will be 216 km/s
As if you put 100kmph it Wil reach in 100km in an hour but 100kms will put it in 100km in seconds
i have thinking this in my dream How Ufo Aircraft Work By Using Ionic Plasma Jet and Gyroscope to Balancing the gravity
sir maybe you should add an amplifier of the truster,,,,,,,,,,maybe sir it would work.....
this is NOT how i view as an ion drive, a linear accelerator way. cyclone acclerator way should be considered with the total angular momentum to be 0. but bremsstrahlung radiation sets the limit how fast it can travel.
What if instead of the xenon what if they add the Oil that based in the transformer which the oil not actually burned but create a Arc to the wires which can be maximize the platma ion flowing to the thrusters
An arc represents a short.
selam bu tür videlar tr dublajlı yayınlarsanız cok teşekkür ederim
Eveybody loves it
you know the space is void right? so... over what are those thrusters pushing?
What if u push 50 times the gas out to make it go faster and able to lift its self
Lol that's not how this works
Can hydrogen be used instead of xenon I know it will affect its speed but affecting some speed hydrogen is easily accessible and a lot cheaper
Hydrogen is also explosive
hydrogen doesnt have the density of xenon, xenon is sort of the middle point of gas choices, a denser gas will require more force negating its effectiveness. a lighter gas will not produce enough force to be effective
Positively charged ions are atrracted by the final negatively charged grid and accelerate. So far so good. However once the final grid is passed the opposite effect is taking place, i.e. the ions are slowed down by the grid. Can someone explain where the net acceleration comes from?
@TheLost Wolf Thank you! So once these accelarated ions receive the missing electon at the time they arrive at the final grid they turn into atoms? In that case the engine itself should not be called an 'ion thruster', should it?
@TheLost Wolf :-) Thank you again. I guess I had fallen victim to that 'short attention span' pandemic. Following your explanation I went on to watch the video to the end and sure enough the electron gun got mentioned. Greetings from Poland.
@@DyzioTheDreamer🤦♂️ 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
newtons law of motion, as the ions pass there is an equal force induced on the grid so to speak, -for every action there is.... you dont get something for nothing. say an ion is expelled at the value of force called x, the object causing the expulsion also experiences a opposite force with the value of x.
What is the purpose of all that , you still need gas to generate thrust which in this case it is xenon and that gas is more heavy then hydrogen and oxygen so why not to keep using hydrogen and oxygen
Relative to mass, ion thrust via xenon is much better and lasts longer than combustion propulsion. Perfect for space travel.
Not once did they mention the inventor of this technology. Nikola Tesla NOT N A S A such a low ball dishonor for them to ever even make such claims.
Ion IS not Gravity ion Can move thing but Gravity Rise a Big heavy weight in any where anti Gravity IS versus Gravity how WE Can find this power coze it's every thing

Your premise is entirely incorrect. All of the examples you gave work on the principle of pressure creation differential. If you can't create pressure there is no thrust. You can't create pressure in a vacuum because there is no 'resistance'.
I endured 44 seconds of this bs. Bravely. Never again.
Shut up and listen kids
