Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Nowadays, Electronic propulsion is the most used technology for controlling the precise motion of the satellites or explorers. As a Physics enthusiast, I wanted to experiment with the Electronic propulsion engine and calculate the thrust generated with the small electronic propulsion engine at atmospheric conditions near sea level. In this experiment, we made a small setup of ion thruster, which can generate very small thrust; we also tried to explain the mathematical model of the thrusts of such designs.
