Many info on ionic wind/electrostatic motor in the link, thanks .

Thank you Ash!!

I've seen this one before, but nonetheless very interesting to read a second time.

Anyone else doing tests related to electrostatic motion where ion wind seems unable to account for the motion?

I've managed to put together a naudin project where the same seems to be the case. The poynting flow thruster:

I used a plastic cylinder from a kinder surprise, and 2 beer cans as the stator electrodes. Works fine. Looks and sounds different from any simple electrostatic induction motor - There isnt any sign of coronal effects. But perhaps im just missing them.

Thanks for the info

Thanks heaps ashtweth for the info. Quite impressive.
