Abstract

This paper describes a novel indoor flyer, called the Ionic Flyer, that does not contain any mechanical moving parts and uses only high-voltage electrical energy to produce thrust. Experimental studies were parametrically carried out to understand the performance of the Ionic Flyers such as the force-to-power ratio at different input voltage. Through the experimental results, we propose a simple model to explain the physical phenomena that dictates the thrust generation mechanism for the Ionic Flyers. ©2007 IEEE.
