I have an idea to make ionocraft pic related practical, but I don't want to accidentally an hero fiddling around with high voltages.
whats some free physics simulation software that has good electric field and fluid dynamics support.

ayy lmao
can't be done, use a propeller boy.
>>8102607
High voltages mean jack shit. A simulator like that is expensive as fuck and there are no cracked versions. Besides that, you would need a little beast to crunch that shit.
Just do it, and respect ohm's law for your own security.

>Your listed concern proves that you don't know your shit, so just do it and be safe.
one of the common ways of powering a ionocraft is to rip out the power supply of a crt.
my alterations to the design will be increasing the current through the device effectively making it deadlier than a tube tv.
lifters are functionally capacative as in momentarily storing a tv's charge.
and my design will theoretically greatly increase the amount of force this thing will generate.
so if my design works I will have created a highly charged device that can move like a rocket if it doesn't rip itself apart in an explosion of charged shrapnel.
so yeah even playing it safe I'd like to know as much as I can before I actually start making a prototype

ioncraft isn't working on Earth fukboi, good try though, ion propulsion only effective in space.

ionocraft work on earth their just so weak you can't really do much with them, thats one of the things I'm trying to fix.

>> simulators are expensive
Nope use OpenFOAM it's free as in freedom.
No simulator can do this sort of stuff out of the box though. I sure hope you know how to solve PDEs. Oh and electrohydrodynamics, it's navier stokes with extra terms
>>8102941
More current = more power consumed. And what do you do about arcing?
>>8103021
>OpenFOAM
Different anon but thank you so much for this. I hate closed-source proprietary shitware controlled by a singular entity, and the oldschool software economy.
>>8102941
Your shit, your idea is probably shit and the effort to simulate your idea accurately will be 1000x harder than just making a scale model and testing the fucker.
Just build it fagot.
>>8103003
That's why I said "ion propulsion only effective in space"
