The Pico-Lifter is a very small Lifter structure ( 10 mm wide ). This is, today, the worldwide smalest Lifter. The purpose is to test the eletrokinetic effect on a very small cell and at low voltage for building a High Density cellular structure ( Lifter-Cell ) for the Lifter-Craft engine.

Pico-Lifter specifications

  • Aluminum armature : 10 mm wide, 5 mm height ( 12µm thick)

  • Wire : 5/100 mm diameter enameled copper wire

  • Gap : 6 mm

  • Working Voltage : About 4 KV DC

TESTS RESULTS :

The Pico-Lifter works very well at about 4KV DC as shown in the photos below :

Comments : The test of the Pico-Lifter test shows that it seems possible to use a honeycomb structure for building a high density Lifter-Cell.
