Investigation into electric propulsion continues to be an area of hopeful research since the pioneering age of aviation. However, more recent global awareness of carbon emissions on the planet and the desire to create more efficient systems has reinvigorated new life into the field. Experimental studies on electric propulsion by virtue of asymmetrical electrodes, on a micro scale, have yielded potentially superior efficiency ratings when compared to currently adopted methods. The observed effect is that asymmetrical electrodes which are subjected to high voltage and are separated by a fluid dielectric medium experience thrust towards the smaller electrode. This method of propulsion is unique and possesses several features that differentiate it from conventional methods of propulsion. One major benefit of this phenomenon is that the electrical energy is directly converted into a mechanical force without the requirement of any moving components.
