Calculation and measurement of a neutral air flow velocity impacting a high voltage capacitor with asymmetrical electrodes

This paper deals with the effects surrounding phenomenon of a mechanical force generated on a high voltage asymmetrical capacitor (the so called Biefeld-Brown effect). A method to measure this force is described and a formula to calculate its value is also given. Based on this the authors derive a f...
