In this paper we present an experiment which demonstrates the use of metals atoms (in particular, lead) with high atomic mass and relatively low ionization energy as solid propellants in the ionic propulsion. The metal used are directly vaporized and ionized in air, at standard atmospheric pressure using microwaves field..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
