Kansas City’s Hacker Space
The cave in which CCCKC resides will be under maintenance beginning at 5 pm CST and ending at 10 pm CST. We ask that nobody attempts to go to the space tonight, in fear of falling down an elevator shaft or running into rock walls.
Mike Overstreet created an Ionic flyer at CCCKC. It uses electricity to generate ions which create lift.
Here’s a video with some of the setup. A flyback transformer from an old CRT monitor is providing the HV source. Warning: do not mess with high voltage sources such as CRTs without proper training and safety equipment.
You can read more about these ionocraft lifters and electrohydrodynamic thrust on Wikipedia.
Zack shows us how he successfully created resonance induction after only 20 minutes of hacking. Nice job!
