hi there,
            htey actually use this but in a different way. they have done
trials oinizing the air in front of an aircrafts wing to reduce drag .
cheers

in a vaccum. It led me to wonder that if a lifter will not fly in no air,
and flies satisfactorly in normal pressure air, then what would happen if it
was placed in high pressure air? Wouldn't it provide more air molecules to
be ionized, creating a greater thrust?

and put it to work in a turbine engine? The best way I can see this
happening is to place the equivalent of the corona wire in the area where
the combustion chamber would normally be, and to put the equivalent of the
aluminium skirt behind the turbines. That way, the air would still be
compressed as usual, then ionized (possibly in a greater amount than in
normal air pressure) by the positive (or negative) terminal, and then be
repelled by the like charge. That could put the required pressure on the
turbines, thus making them spin. This is pure speculation, done in an
extremely simplified design, so I have absolutely no idea whether or not
this would actually work. It just seems like something interesting to throw
out to everybody else. Any ideas?
