Measure first.

This estimator does not predict corona discharge or replace a plasma simulation. It converts experimental targets into force, thrust-to-power and benchmark comparisons.

Scenario

Stages do not automatically multiply performance; real scaling must be measured.

Flow vs. Noctua 92 mm
Ventiva ICE

Commercial EHD reference: ~1.02 CFM per device and 14 Pa max static pressure per device.

MIT MSD

Research reference: up to 26 N/m² from a 10-stage ducted EAD thruster.

Noctua NF-A9 PWM

92 mm mechanical reference: 46.44 CFM max, ~22.36 Pa max and 1.12 W typical. Maximum airflow and maximum pressure are different operating points.

Quick read: for a 10 × 10 cm pixel, 14 N/m² corresponds to ~14.3 gf; 26 N/m² corresponds to ~26.5 gf. That is thrust, not CFM. Useful airflow must be measured separately.
