The New EHD model R9
by mcpherbn@sunet.com.au (Neil McPherson)
These are the photos of the EHD V9 Variation engine. The
front section is a one piece aluminum sheet pressed into a slightly flat cone
shape with nine mini domes superimposed on it. The rear of the V9 is simply
plastic straws glued into a triangle shape, covered with aluminum sheet and an
aircraft tail plane for appearances. The 28 KV positive charged is attached to
the inside back of each mini dome, the fine wires come out at the rear of the V9
without touching anywhere else in the body of the model. The negative or earthed
electrodes are attached to the front of each mini dome by plastic straws.
Dimensions of the model are 30cm wide, 36cm long and the mini domes are 4cm in
diameter. This model travels at approximately .7m/sec.

labs for detailed specifications on EHD engines.
Good experimenting Neil McPherson.
