It's a filament made from tin oxide anode and lithium cobalt oxide cathode suspended in an ionic liquid electrolyte.
This is ionic bonding.
This process creates an ionic force strong enough to produce thrust.
And, what we will do next day is we will look at the consequences of such an energetic set up, and rationalize that when ions form, by necessity we must form ionic crystals.
And ionic EAPs revert to their original shape as soon as the applied voltage is removed.
And so we got to ionic bonding.
They melt to form ionic liquids.
Whereas, ceramics, ionic crystals will resist until they shatter.
This thin panel is made of about 1, 000 porous metal structures that resemble needles and have several grams of the ionic liquid on them.
Indeed it was the ionic fog that occurs around and with dimensional 'worm holes'. It was the Emerald Crystal.
