Ion based electric heat compression jet engine cad

it's this weird idea I have for an entirely electrical jet engine

The first stage, though not really visible, is a thin wire mesh which is the anode to an electrohydrodynamic based propulsion system. The cathode is that weird circle that looks checkerboard. It then passes the air through a fan, which blows it into a compression chamber, which heats up the air, and then expels compressed air out the back.

The goal in your design seems to be driving the ducted fan. You can do that with a more conventional electric motor with higher efficiency... converting electricity to hot gas, and then using the expansion to drive blades, wasting all that energy as heat...

Not to be a downer, it would work... but not well.

" passes the air through a fan, which blows it into a compression chamber"

Fan is powered by electric motor. Already got your idea covered.

you should look up lifters. they fly by ionizing the air.

[cerebrate]

it's where I originally got the idea

[PieLordPdRocks4]

then paten the idea but becareful the chinese will try to take it if its good

[cerebrate]

well, the only problem is patenting takes a lot of money, and i really don't know how well this design will work (nor do I know if it's patented already).

And it doesn't really matter though, because as long as this stays on youtube, I have prior art (which I'd be fine if someone went and made this, cause heck, it could be awesome, I'd just make them give me a bit of their money if they made any).

looks like a real advanced pepper shaker.

its good to c how far we lack behind..

well this idea is going in my book, :P if that okay with you. ps its gonna be an a fighter jet :D a new kind

@cerebrate Oh and I would like to add you cannot really patent an idea. You can however patent unique aspects of your idea like shape, size the parts made and used and to what order things like that. A engineering firm may have a similar idea but may have a design differing slightly as to make you original claims of originality insufficient over theirs.

@cerebrate I had similar ideas but soon realised that to convert electrical energy to heat would be a waste of heat. Most anodes need a bit of heat to start up. I soon gave up and started looking elsewhere like composite blades arrrgg!! taken by GE thats alright its just that when doing uni research you have to update your knowledge too.

@fitshuck will do :)

@roidroid

far, FAR beyond.. using a magnetic field to direct plasma flow is exactly what i've had dwelling in my mind since last semester. sooo much electrically charged energy! you should message me man, i'll share some designs i come up with in solidworks and we can collab or somethin?

[largebutsmall]

im doin sometin for the science fair and this would be great!!!

[vaj99]

wud it be battery powered?
