Thanks! That would be great. Both water (polar) and glycerol (non polar) form a floating bridge when put between high voltage electrodes. It reminds me of how powder forms a bridge with these columns:

Nah, nothing clever like that! I love seeing how powders/liquids react in strong electric fields. I suppose the little flakes of powder get electrically charged, then fly to the other electrode, then get charged there, then fly back, over and over again. Both borax (.10H2O) and copper sulphate (.5H2O) have lots of water molecules inside, and I do wonder if the water molecules help create this effect.
FREE ENGLISH SPEAKING CLASSES for all members of my website (www.skype-lessons.com). This was recorded on Zoom this morning, but I promise to use a Nostr based program in future (e.g. HiveTalk). I have to get my students used to HiveTalk first, and usually, there are problems when switching to a new platform. I will probably use HiveTalk Vanilla, as I know this is the easiest version to use.
PREPOSITIONS of SPACE and TIME (Pre-Intermediate Level). 8000 zaps for lifetime access to this lecture + 13.5 hours of other lectures + 40 quizzes. Zap this note 10000 sats, and I will even include a 30-minute live class on Hive Talk. More info:

Will test later. Looks fantastic
I reckon my kids will be using Lightning throughout their working lives. Hope so!
It is not reactionless. Ions propel it.
It isn't reactionless. It's the opposite. It obeys Newton
Not experience but 'experiment'. I strongly suspect a null result, but don't try, don't know. A null result is still a good result from which we can learn.
Of course. All videos on this page (except the history videos) are me in my house or shed.
Plasma propulsion with Macka B in the background. Needs a little shake to get started. At full vacuum, there aren't enough ions to push it round; nevertheless, a Nostrian student mentioned 'reactionless thrust' a few months ago, something that I used to be really interested in, so I plan to put an old electrostatic motor in a vacuum chamber to see if 'reactionless thrust' is still science fiction.
It's super, and I think HiveTalk will quickly see lots of new users provided that one click is all that's required to get you in the room. I will certainly start using it for ALL my students as long as I can be sure that all they need to do is click on my link. I now see that Honey does (almost) work with one click, but Irina did have some difficulty with it yesterday. I remember that with Vanilla, neither of us even needed to be signed into Nostr, so in that way, Vanilla is quicker and easier.
I already pay for a Zoom subscription, but I'd rather pay (with Bitcoin) for a HiveTalk subscription. Zoom is like Amazon or Google- corporate communism! Consider me a definite subscriber if you do go down that route.
