Simulation of a wire-cylinder-plate positive corona discharge in nitrogen gas at atmospheric pressure
Alexandre A. Martins
In this work we are going to perform a simulation of a wire-cylinder-plate positive corona discharge in nitrogen gas, and compare our results with already published experimental re…
Modeling of an improved positive corona thruster and actuator
Alexandre A. Martins
In this work we are going to perform a simulation of a positive corona discharge in nitrogen gas, using two different asymmetric capacitor geometries. This work represents an impro…
On the influence that the ground electrode diameter has in the propulsion efficiency of an asymmetric capacitor in nitrogen gas
Alexandre A. Martins, Mario J. Pinheiro
In this work the propulsion force developed in an asymmetric capacitor will be calculated for three different diameters of the ground electrode. The used ion source is a small diam…
Study on the influence that the number of positive ion sources has in the propulsion efficiency of an asymmetric capacitor in nitrogen gas
Alexandre A. Martins, Mario J. Pinheiro
