The Wind Off the Small Isles The Wind Off the Small Isles is a novella by Mary Stewart, first published in 1968. Unlike her other works,
Ion wind at the tip. An opposite force acts on the tip that may recoil if not tight to ground. A vaneless ion wind generator performs the inverse function, using ambient wind to move ions, which are collected yielding electrical energy. Ion wind Ion wind, ionic wind, coronal wind or electric wind is the airflow induced by electrostatic forces linked to corona discharge arising at the tips of some sharp conductors (such as points or blades) subjected to high voltage relative to ground. Ion wind is an electrohydrodynamic phenomenon. Ion wind generators can also be considered electrohydrodynamic thrusters. The term “ionic wind”
