"Tiny Ionic Thruster Masterfully Extinguishes Candles"

TL;DR
A video by [Integza] demonstrates how to create an ionic thruster using a DC high-voltage transformer, a nickel strip, and a smooth ring. The device generates an ionic wind by ionizing nearby air molecules, resulting in a wind-like force with no moving parts. The thruster is capable of blowing out candles and can be used to propel a model boat. 3D models of the parts are available online for those interested in replicating the experiment.
