The Next Generation of Ionic Plasma Thrusters (BSI MARK 2)

Three quick notes - 1) Thank you to Morning Brew, 2) Let's address diameter differences. The diameter on my friend's thruster was around 7 cm. The BSI is 12 cm, which is moving a large volume of air. 3) BSI Mark 3 is currently underway. Thanks for watching!

É o vento que é necessário então porque não em forma de turbina ,pressionando o vento

What is the temperature of the exhausted air??

lol

you should go with a smaller gage wire and see what that does.

put it in a egg shape container and you'll have your very own tictac

Just out of pure curiosity, but have you tried your new design win a cone shaped design from lower to smaller diameter or vice-versa for any flow force advantages??? Just a thought!?

can you pass iron oxide in it

can you preheat air in first stage with coil heater, because hot air under high voltage increase ions

How it behaves in outer space?

Make it tighter

I left my calculating prowess in school, whats this in MPH on a normal sized aircraft,
If it was built to scale?

You should try adding some air foils or fins at the intake that would make the air start to spin and I bet it will increase the output just a guess though or redesign the actual grid or have a new grid machined that is designed to get the air spinning idk cool project though

delete the space between the stages. may help like before with single stage reduction. except the fan test show it will not ???? help.??

This is the kinda stuff I would be doing if I made better choices in school…

Was that Medina in Bellevue?

Have you tried variations of frequencies on each of the rings? Maybe there’s some timing that can be done to get some sort of pulse harmonics

I wonder if one could direct the thrust like a phased array radar beam?

Not optimal solutions. Too weak.
And I know how to make it more powerful, but I won’t tell you because there are sanctions)

@PlasmaChannel I believe that you are losing power, as you are absorbing the air that is still coming from the sides of the prototype. Only absorb air that is already moving. Use more stages (example 5) and rotate them 72 degrees (360/5) each to control output diffusion.

What would happen if you bottle neck the exhaust side?

unless it's in space or on something of use, you just made an overengineerd fan.

Je pense qu'en réduisant successivement le diamètre des bobines d'induction il y possibilité d'accélérer de plus en plus le flux du plasma et donc d'augmenter la poussée... À expérimenter !

If he's doing this at home, I can just imagine what Skunk Works are up to

helium assisted? injection at front?

Your inlet needs to be flat with curve on inner side. like a birds wing. makes a huge difference. check airflow over surfaces to improve it more

Try in octave terms a 5th from the frequency behind or in front of the pans you have. In order to induce a multi freq energy source

How much voltage is being used here?

Great work 👌🏼

Please BSI MK3

Would a nozzle be helpful in focusing the airflow further and increasing the pressure?

If we assume that the system is a fan with propeller, I would tell you a serial connectiondoes not help increasing the air velocity. You increase the fan pressure by adding stages. In order to increase volume, parallel connection is used (but housing for parallel connection can cause an increased resistance. If it behaves as a fan, then you can check sources on mining ventilation engineering or mech eng. liked your video.

Hi bro, I really want see this project on an airplane. Good project.

I wonder what would happen if you used a magnetic field to manipulate the flow of the plasma into a vortex via the Lorentz Force.

Can you make it use fluid

Have you though about a magnet

Does anyone know how can i get de 3D model plans?

You could try to make smaller ones to make a flying thingy...

You need to speak to Elon Musk as I believe you would be beneficial to the Mars project, just saying... 🤔

陽極を大気にすれば無限に電圧を上げられるのにね

The 2nd and 3rd stages need to decrease gradually in size to increase discharge pressure and velocity.

Perhaps this seems strange and maybe just plain weird, but instead of a linear plane for your plasma but a spiral? The idea is that the you could vary the size of each thruster and keep the highest volume flow of air in the middle. I know you are moving towards a more wing design, but its all just a guess.

You have to make the 2nd nd theired stages faster than the first, speeding the air up. Like turbos.

Should the first ring be smaller in diameter than the s3cond ?
Or should the rings be progressively larger in diameter .. does that help with each successive riing getting better airflow?

subbed, brilliant, loved it!!!

🤩😂🪄📌

This is so fun to watch, thank you! I learned so much from your channel and your motivation to get in contact with other experts, even read some documentation from NASA is so impressive! Keep it up, i really would love to see the next version with 8m/s ;-)
