The specialists of the University of Florida have created a semblance of a flying saucer - wingless electromagnetic aircraft that are going to patent.A flying saucer is based on the principles of magneto-hydrodynamics, which studies the motion of conducting fluids and ionized gases in the presence of a magnetic field. According to the developers, the surface is covered with a plate electrodes, due to which ionize the surrounding air, turning it into a plasma. It is this effect allows the plate to take off vertically, move and hover in the air.
The prototype has a dish is not very large in size - its diameter is less than 15 cm device is capable of carrying only a very tiny device, but, according to scientists, can be made in much larger flying machine.
But good design is not yet a reality - the only problem is that in the world there are no sufficient battery power.
