Quick Question: Ionocraft with nanotechnology?
So basically there is this ionocraft thingy and it would be used frequently by one of my stories, mainly by a lightweight character (6.3 kg). Now the question:
If I were to use nanotechnology to create an ionocraft, that has a ridiculously big surface area packed into a ridiculously tiny device (human lungs already did it).
Ionocraft triangle arrangement (top view, where every line represents the outer edges of the plates)
How much energy or surface area would I need to lift x kg's of something?
How small can an individual triangle of the ionocraft get, without negatively affecting its efficiency?
How dangerous would this device be?
