Sun’n’Fun 2009 Product Highlights
Plasma-Powered Vimana
University of Florida Professor Subrata Roy has applied for a patent on a “wingless electromagnetic air vehicle”, a circular, spinning aircraft design reminiscent of Kenneth Arnold’s flying saucers.
The planned prototype is small (truly saucer-sized, smaller than a dinner plate!) and relies on magnetohydrodynamics for flight, with electrodes to ionize the surrounding air into a plasma. The force created by passing a current through this plasma energizes the surrounding air and pushes against it, simultaneously stabilizing the craft and providing lift.
Variations on this concept have been tested in space, but not on Earth. If this craft succeeds, it will be the first of its kind!
