The 2 stage cascade hexagonal type - designed 25/01/02
Two vertically stacked hexagonal style thrusters. Half a 'Kinder' egg (0.5g) on top used as container for loads. Air gap between foils is 50-55 mm, foil is 20 mm each. Note round smooth edge on top side of foil and sharp edge on lower side of each foil. Note that leg supports are not decorative, they are necessary to minimise field effects between the lower edge of the lower foil and the table, even if used on an insulated base. This thruster weighs 11g and lifts an additional weight of 19g, including weight of container. Top wire and bottom foil are positive (connected together), the middle foil is negative.
Tried to get a better picture showing the load inside the capsule and the shadow that shows it lifting (note shadows of its legs).
