5. Per Horace's suggestion, I powered the device with AC. The results, were to say the least, disappointing. No thrust was observed using any of the configurations given above, save one. With rotor electrodes having a more flattened surface and corona wires very pointed, there was a slight motion, but I determined this to be again corona wind....insulating the pointed electrodes killed the effect. These results remained the same at 60cps, 400cps, 1500cps, 5000cps and 8000cps.
I am a bit confused. Could you please define, as used above, your exact meaning of the words:
Corona wires rotor electrodes pointed electrodes and the nature of the surface which was flattened Thanks. Regards, Horace Heffner
