Electric ion propulsor

An electric ion propulsor, comprising:

• a substrate having an inner surface and outer surface;
• a plurality of antennae mounted adjacent to each other on the inner surface and are enabled to transmit RF energy;
• and
• a controller having a connection to each of the plurality of antennae, a digital signal processor (DSP) and software stored in memory enabling control of transmission of the RF energy by each of the plurality of antennae;
• wherein the software functions to control the DSP which sends signals to the plurality of antennae that controls the RF energy emitted by each of the plurality of antennae, the antennae are subdivided into a plurality of arrays, a first array of the plurality of arrays serves to ionize ambient air and trap the resulting ionized air into a plurality of individual voxels and each voxel is transferred to another adjacent array, subsequently and in a linear direction, until the voxel exits the substrate at a speed enabling air movement causing thrust.
