What was the arcing distance between the foil and the wire(was it copper?).

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Nice little lifter!!! I've built a few myself. First couple didnt work...Too much arcing between the foil and the top wire, for one (I didnt do a good enough job of keeping the foil smooth....too many sharp point...plus it may have been a bit too close to the top wire) The other one was simply too heavy to work well (at least I think that was the problem) .3rd one worked just fine though.... 3 times the charm for me I guess! LOL!

[chehades]

Did you used copper wire???, How do you Obtain 30 KV????

[runitagain]

I used an old computer monitor. I obtained instructions of how to hook it up at Force Labs website. Just remember be careful and use safety when conducting these experiments and building the power supply.

The coltage doesn't depend on the resistance, only the current.

[oozt]

are you using alternating current or DC?

[runitagain]

I am using DC

[runitagain]

30,000 volts

[lordcem2]

how many volts are going through that thing

[redmistpete]

Awesome!! What if you made a second, separate one, inverted on-top of the first and pulled a higher voltage through it - could you get it to hover in stasis? What if then you made three smaller ones on each side just to give it a bit of controllable thrust? I know it would be difficult to do but that's what you'd be doing next if you were me ;)

this has all happened before... nothing new here, move along. :)

[redmistpete]

Why such a negative comment for something so cool? Please tell me one thing that /you/ find interesting that I wouldn't be able to say the same thing in reply to you.

[lilbrudder32]

google and do some research. my comment was not negative- it only stated that this is nothing new. asymmetrical capacitors and the thrust effect generated by high voltage input therein has been researched for more than 100 yrs now. like i said, nothing new in this video... in fact, jean-louis naudin has been showing videos of this type of thruster on the 'net for about 8 yrs... so again, i said nothing new here, move along. :)

[redmistpete]

You didn't answer my question: LIKE I SAID name one thing that you like that HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE - nothing is 'new' everything you see today is a result of years of research from the past; what's your point? Why deliberately post an antagonizing /negative/ comment in response to my initial /positive/ comment?

[CHILLsNiPe]

redmistpete its the interne, sit back, smoke some weed and enjoy the vid, ignore the comments.

[redmistpete]

Cheers; good advice. I'm psychotic though, no weed for me but I can chill in other ways. Peace!
