The Lifter "Maximus ][ " is a bigger than the previous version. It uses four stages of 84 asymmetrical T.T. Brown capacitors ( called cells ) joined so as to form an hexagonal assembly. There is a total of 336 T.T. Brown capacitors. The Lifter "Maximus ][ " is 1m20 wide...
The Total weight of the Lifter "Maximus ]["
without a payload is 190 g
When the HV power supply is swiched on, the Lifter
"Maximus ][" goes upward quickly and remains stable.
| The
Lifter "Maximus ][ " specifications The thin wire is connected to the +HV, the top aluminum armature is connected to the ground, the 3rd stage to the +HV, the 2nd stage to the ground and then the bottom stage to the +HV. Each aluminum armature is wing shaped with a thick leading edge ( 1.5 mm ) and a thin trailing edge ( 0.12 mm ). The thin trailing edge is equivalent to the first thin wire and produces a strong electric field. There are 336 asymmetrical capacitors.

TEST with a 60 g payload, total weight = 250 g
A 60
g of payload is
placed in the middle of the Lifter " Maximus ][ "
Test result : When the HV power supply is switched on, the Lifter "Maximus ][ " goes upward quickly with its 60 g of payload. The total weight of the Lifter "Maximus ][ " is 250 g. ( see below ).

Notes : In theory, the Lifter " Maximus ][ " is able to carry up to 145 g of payload, but unfortunately, due to the power limitation of my HV power supply, the max payload is only 60 g at the date of this test... I need to soon upgrade my HV power supply.
