[Audio] The levitator is a leaf shaped 14 micron aluminum or non conductive with a 0.5 mm material at the rim. The levitator maintains neutrality, with both positive and negative charges in equilibrium. When it is placed between charged plates, the positive charge diminishes as the levitator acquires a negative charge. A portion of this charge is mitigated through the ionizer, which in turn reduces the height and prevents the levitator from being completely drawn to the upper plate..

[Audio] Propulsion Propulsion Mechanism: The ion thruster achieves propulsion by creating an angled force. This is accomplished by tilting the levitator, a component that houses the ions, by 22.5 degrees. This tilt angle causes the ions to be ejected sideways rather than directly behind the thruster. The resulting side wards force on the levitator translates into a forward thrust..

[Audio] Up scaling Lifting Capacity: The maximum weight a single levitator can lift depends primarily on the strength of the lifting force it generates and the surface area of the object's upper face in contact with the levitator plate. This relationship can be represented by a specific force per unit area, like 1.5 watts per gram (W/g) (this is the worse case situation). Multi-Levitator Systems: By combining multiple levitators, the lifting capacity can be significantly increased. Each levitator contributes its lifting force, allowing for the manipulation of heavier objects..

The levitator is a leaf shaped 14 micron aluminum or non conductive with a 0.5  millimeters  material at the rim.
 The levitator maintains neutrality
 with both positive and negative charges in equilibrium. 
 When it is placed between charged plates
 the positive charge diminishes as the levitator acquires a negative charge. 
 A portion of this charge is mitigated through the ionizer
 which in turn reduces the height and prevents the levitator from being completely drawn to the upper plate.

Forces on the Levitator
 The electrostatic attraction force is up. The gravitational force is downwards. The ionic wind is up
 or depended on the direction of the pointer(s).

 Propulsion Mechanism: The ion thruster achieves propulsion by creating an angled force. This is accomplished by tilting the levitator
 a component that houses the ions
 by 22.5 degrees. This tilt angle causes the ions to be ejected sideways rather than directly behind the thruster. The resulting side wards force on the levitator translates into a forward thrust.

Single Levitator Configuration:
 In a system with a single levitator
 a counterweight is strategically placed on the same side from the intended direction of movement. This counterweight balances the force generated by the angled ion ejection
 ensuring the levitator experience a net sideways movement.
