Design of power supply and EHD system for ion-propulsion drone

Abstract

An initial preparation stage for the design of an ion-propulsion drone with no moving parts is presented in this
study. Ion-propulsion drone technology is still not significantly mature; however, the technology has the potential
to bring about evolution in the drone and aerospace industries. An essential part of the system is to generate
a high-voltage (HV) DC power supply in order to propel the drone. This study presents the design of a power
supply circuit to generate a HV DC supply system along with the design of electrohydrodynamics is presented in
this study.
