Hi Antonio,

I assume the air ions are negative ions.
I am about to prove how dangerous a little learning can be. The mass of the 
electron
is, as you write, very small. Mass e  around 10 e -30 kg. But Newton's 2nd 
law must apply
in ion propulsion so I am wondering how, and  where is the 3rd law force-the
reactive or opposite force?

And Terry, this will surely test your new-found liberalism in accepting 
off-the subject
postings to the tc list.
