You don’t see many ionic thrusters out in the world these days. The high-voltage devices are interesting pieces of technology, but they aren’t all that relevant to our normal lives. They’re gradually ...

Spacecraft rocket engines come in a variety of forms and use a variety of fuels, but most rely on chemical reactions to blast propellants out of a nozzle, with the reaction force driving the ...

According to Undefined Technologies, which just debuted a new outdoor flight test video, Florida's "silent" flying dish-rack, propelled by ionic propulsion, is scheduled to go into general production ...

Demand for electric propulsion is growing for space applications and the proposed technological solutions are evolving fast. Gridded Ion Technology allows a more efficient management of Xe, providing ...

This build is currently Patented! US Provisional Patent Application No.: 63/569,369 In a continuing pursuit to create a new generation of airplane flight, i've shifted away from dedicated ionic ...

GOCE’s sophisticated electric ion propulsion system has been switched on and confirmed to be operating normally, marking another crucial milestone in the satellite’s post-launch commissioning phase.

Perhaps a sequential ionic thrust topology is not the way to go. It makes the most sense, but in reality results in dimishing ...

If there’s one hard-to-ignore annoyance with drones is noise pollution, with these otherwise extremely useful aircraft being quite loud due to their propellers. This Florida-based startup plans to ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Undefined Technologies has unveiled the new design of its concept eVTOL drone named the Silent Ventus. The drone is powered by proprietary ion propulsion ...

Small pinwheel type ion motors fall into the category of a fun science experiment or something neat to do with high voltage, but Hackaday’s own [Manuel Rodriguez-Achach] added a neat twist that ...
