Lifter Movies

Movies of two of the Lifter tests.

Lifter One Test (original AVI)

Lifter Two Test (original AVI)

You can see that the first lifter seems to me a bit more active than the second one. We attribute this to weight - I was a bit heavy with the superglue on the second lifter.

Also, we discovered that scraping the enamel coating off the positive wire was critical for electron flow. Before we performed this on the second lifter, it wouldn’t even move off the table.

You can hear a hissing sound in both movies. We believe this is evidence of the ion wind which actually lifts the device.
