Ionic wind applications

Ionic wind application for a typical industrial application may be, for instance,
- airflow control, because they may be used as an air-moving actuator, usually called “plasma actuator”.
- EHD gas pumps.

Lifter theory and dielectric barrier discharge

Lifter theory looks a lot like dielectric barrier discharge.
Even if people talk about UFO and antigravity ....

High electrostatic radiation cover to go to Mars

Go to Mars in a cosmic fruit bowl

Tripathi is suggesting instead that positively and negatively charged metal spheres be arranged on struts jutting out of the crew capsule, in carefully controlled directions, to give the crew a high degree of electrostatic radiation cover. He calculates the “cherries” would need to be between 10 and 20 metres in diameter and would be stationed about 50 metres from the crew capsule—the “grapefruit”.

Abstracts Requested for International Electrostatic Discharge Workshop

Presentations should address novel design concepts; special custom design approaches; technology integration issues; failure analysis; test structures; simulation tools; component-level ESD testing; ESD characterization; system-level ESD issues; immunity of ICs to EMI, and unresolved ESD issues.

Electric discharge applications

You can find many unthinkable application to electric discharge (you can name such as plasma application too).
Just to have a start:
- combustion enhancement
- ionic propulsion
- supersonic stabilisation
- invisible airplane

Lightning as very long discharge

Many Bolts
Originally uploaded by rrazor

Lightning are natural electric discharge.
Most lightning are intra-cloud, meaning they do not fall down to ground but are in the cloud.
