&description=Conversion of dc electric energy into the kinetic energy of airflow without recourse to mechanically moving elements has been studied experimentally. The mechanism of air propulsion exploits molecular and atomic ions, or, alternatively, charged microdroplets moving in a constant electric field and pushing air ahead. The experiments show that the electric energy required to create airflows can be reduced by a factor of several tens if only charged microdroplets are used as charge carriers instead of molecular and atomic ions.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/909.jpg)
