Experimental study on the factors affecting the performance of wire-plate Biefeld-Brown thrust unit

Biefeld-Brown effect (B-B for short) refers to the phenomenon that when a high voltage is applied an asymmetric capacitor, capacitor generates additional force. In order explore influencing factors and series characteristics of B-B wire-plate capacitors in atmospheric pressure, set experimental devices with adjustable parameters was designed. Based on this device, effects different lengths, power supply types electrode application modes thrust efficiency are studied. At same time, optimal selected study characteristics. The research shows generated by directly proportional length wire plate. applying positive emission copper grounding aluminum plate largest, two-stage connection can achieve multiple increase thrust, better performance.
