Abstract
CUBIDES ALFONSO, Fredy Yamith; LANCHEROS QUIROGA, David Leonardo and CHACON-CARDONA, César Alexander. Analysis of Ion Propulsion in Asymmetric Capacitors. Ciencia en Desarrollo [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.2, pp.83-97. ISSN 0121-7488.
Abstract This paper shows a new methodology for the study of the behaviour of asymmetrical capacitors subjected to high voltage (AC and DC). Experimental models for a kinematic analysis and simulations to observe the electric and magnetic field are shown. Additionally, in order to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the electromagnetic levitation phenomenon, thermography studies were performed by comparing the behaviours resulted from each signal type (AC and DC). The results showed the asymmetric capacitor connected to 30 kV in direct current presented a stable levitation in comparison with the AC current signal.
