   The silly bugger produces ions with a corona wire,   
   then he forgets to bring them up to speed with a high voltage.   
   he thinks the corona wire itself will make a drive..........   
      
   Maybe he should go to nasa website to see how they did it.   
   Or google for ion drive design.
