MIT Flies Aircraft Powered by Ionic Wind that has No Moving Parts

MIT ion powered aircraft

MIT has successfully created and flown an ionic wind powered aircraft prototype that has no moving parts. Yes, that is correct. It has no moving parts and flies.

This eco-friendly aircraft prototype stays in the air with wires that are charged by ions at 40,000 volts. It works by taking the negative charged electrons from air molecules, as they are attracted to the electrodes (negatively charged) at the back of the flying ionic wind powered aircraft. This scientific process described above allows it to fly with no moving parts required.

MIT was able to successfully create a custom power supply capable of generating the right output to successfully stay in the air. This technology still needs to be developed further, but it looks very promising for eco-friendly aircraft. This prototype was flown across a gym floor, which was approximately 197 feet.

This ionic wind powered aircraft with no moving parts created by MIT is quite a fascinating accomplishment that is sure to expand upon existing aircraft technology.

Keep in mind that it has been reported that even after receiving this error message, a person can still charge their iPhone successfully.

Troubleshooting with a Third-Party iPhone Power Cord

It has also been reported that an iPhone charger saying the error message “This accessory may not be supported” may not charge your iPhone properly. In fact, it may show the lightning bolt next to your battery on your iPhone screen, but you could be losing battery life despite it showing that it is charging.

In this case, you would need to unplug the third-party iPhone charger and attempt to plug it in to actually get it to charge. This has happened as well. Simply unplugging the USB from the computer, and replugging it in can get the iPhone to start charging properly.

Should I Buy an official Apple Power Cord or a Third-party charger?

It is always best to buy brand-sponsored accessories because your success rate will be much higher. However, it is understandable that one doesn’t want to pay a lot of money for Apple accessories. Hence, the third-party iPhone USB cord.

If you buy an iPhone USB cord from a third-party, it is recommended that you do some research, and read customer reviews to see if there are any compatibility flaws with the product.
