The Lifter V4.0 is a bigger version of the Lifter v3.0. The Lifter v4.0 uses 36 asymmetrical T.T. Brown capacitors joined ( called cells ) so as to form a hexagonal assembly. The Lifter v4.0 is 2 time heavier than the Lifter v3.0.

The Lifter v4.0 is maintained on the ground base with 4 thin nylon threads to avoid that it escapes to the ceiling...

The Lifter v4.0 specifications

The Lifter v4.0 uses 36 asymmetrical T.T. Brown capacitors joined ( called cells ) so as to form a hexagonal assembly. Each asymmetrical capacitor is built with one electrode made with a thin corona wire placed at 30 mm from the main rectangular electrode constructed "ala" Townsend Brown.

  • Weight : 32 g

  • Size : 820x 700 mm and 40 mm high made with a thin aluminum sheet.

  • Mounting legs : 30 mm length.

  • Main frame : balsa wood 15/10 mm thick and 2 mm wide. The construction of the frame is lighter than the previous versions ( half of the lower balsa frame has been removed ).

  • Power required to compensate the weight : 81.4 Watts ( 40.5 KV @ 2.01 mA )

  • Power required for a stable flight above the ground : 132.9 Watts ( 44 KV @ 3.02 mA )

Lifter v4.0 Test Results : Woww !!!, Very impressive... The Lifter v4.0 is the biggest one that I have built today. Its size in the lab is very impressive ( 820 x700 mm ). The Lifter v4.0 is a fascinating device, in spite of its weight, it is able to accelerate upwards very quickly and silently. The Lifter v4.0 has a weight of 32 g and it is very stable during the hovering.
