Part 5/7:
Realizing the importance of refining the system, Paul plans to repeat the test with variations—such as adjusting the VARC settings—to enhance the lift effect. He mentions that turning off the VARC or changing the power supply configuration can influence the operation, illustrating the delicate balance required for stable ion propulsion.
He also alludes to ongoing experimentation with the geometry of the lifter. Specifically, he references observing other designs, including hexagon- or octagon-shaped lifters, but notes he has not yet seen a "true round" lifter. This suggests his interest in the influence of shape and symmetry on the efficiency and stability of electro-hydrodynamic propulsion.
