Test Types
Each card below is a specific prediction the framework makes — and a test recipe that confirms or breaks it. Status badges are live: as you log tests on New Test, predictions move from untested through passing / failing automatically.
V² scaling
UntestedSame Gravitor, different voltages. Thrust should scale with V².
1/d² gap scaling
UntestedSame emitter and voltage, swap dielectric thickness. Thrust should scale as 1/d².
Linear A scaling
UntestedSame V, d, κ — different emitter areas. Thrust should scale linearly with A.
(κ-1)/κ saturation
UntestedSame V, d, A — swap dielectric material. Thrust scales with (κ−1)/κ which saturates near 1.
Linear N scaling
UntestedSame Gravitor, stack N copies in series. Thrust should scale linearly with N.
Polarity independence
UntestedSame Gravitor, same V, flip polarity. Thrust magnitude should be identical.
Persistence
UntestedRun for an extended period at fixed V. Thrust should hold; ion-mode decays.
Current-flow null
UntestedForce should appear with negligible leakage current. If high I correlates with high F, you're measuring corona.
AC suppression
UntestedSame RMS voltage, but AC instead of DC. Thrust should drop dramatically.
Vacuum vs atmosphere
UntestedSame Gravitor, run in air vs vacuum. Thrust should survive — ion wind cannot.
