Ionic wind, an induced phenomenon during corona discharge, possessing the features of
silent operation and no moving parts, has a wide range of applications. Ionic wind …

High temperature during electronic components operation can cause the failure of PN
junctions of chips, and it can even damage the entire component. Ionic wind is a promising …

Electroaerodynamic (EAD) thrusters are a means of producing a propulsive force in air that
does not require any moving parts and is nearly silent. In these devices, ions generated from …

Over 1000 V DC voltage is achieved with organic solar mini-modules comprising 1640 laser-
structured sub-cells on an area of 3.6× 3.7 cm2 (active area 12.1 cm2). Under 100 klux warm …

Multiple emitters systems have been previously used so as to increase charge density in the
drift region, many times without producing sensible increment neither in total current nor …

Corona discharge is a widely-used phenomenon that requires a sharp electrode to generate
a strong electric field (10 6 V m− 1) at high voltages (typically in the tens of kV). The advent …

ElectroAeroDynamic (EAD) propulsion has recently shown a growing interest with distinct
propulsive capabilities and specific advantages. These experimental observations are …

Heat dissipation for electronic devices is a rising issue today. In the present work, a solid-
state fan (SSF) using copper foam as a collecting electrode has been developed …

This work presents a multiparameter experimental investigation on the effects of geometrical
parameters on the performance of corona thrusters. A scaling model is presented in order to …
