Electrohydrodynamic Propeller as One of the Alternatives to Replace Conventional Propulsion Systems

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this article, an analysis of issues related to EHD propulsion systems, including their design and the working principle, is presented. The article deals with the advantages and shortcomings that influence their utilisation in the conditions of the Earth’s atmosphere. In the practical section of the article, a set of experiments aimed at elucidating a relationship between the geometry of the capacitor model applied voltage and the induced force is described. An essential task was to verify the functionality of a device and to quantify the efficiency of this type of propeller by applying experimental methods aimed at increasing the functionality.
