APEC 12/10, Part #4 – Todd Desiato – Ion-Drive Demonstration
https://www.altpropulsion.com – Todd has been constructing an ion-drive encased in a metal-tube, and Mark has performed initial testing with positive thrust results. Testing exhausted the supply of argon used in the test chamber, and internal sparking was noted during testing that indicated a high-impedance in the device. Mark is making adjustments as requested by Todd, and will be performing a live test of the device during the conference.
In the Dec 10th, 2022 conference session, Justin Pearson will discuss the Baldwin Aerospace approach to Hypersonic MHD propulsion; Greg Hodgin will talk about the ZC Industries Warp-Drive; Mark Sokol will demonstrate a rebuilt Podkletnov Impulse generator experiment; Todd Desiato and Mark Sokol will demonstrate a completed Ion-Drive; and Michael Perrone will discuss the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
