Propellantless Propulsion: The Role of Drift Transport in Asymmetrical Capacitor Thrust Production

Abstract

CONCLUSION: Thrust dependent primarily on the current applied; * Polarity was not a major factor in thrust magnitude or direction; * Results of experimentation pointed towards an ionic model for thrust.
