An initial preparation stage for the design of an ion-propulsion drone with no moving parts is presented in this study. Ion-propulsion drone technology is still not significantly mature; however, the technology has the potential to bring about evolution in the drone and aerospace industries. An essential part of the system is to generate a high-voltage (HV) DC power supply in order to propel the drone. This study presents the design of a power supply circuit to generate a HV DC supply system along with the design of electrohydrodynamics is presented in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
