Figure Legend:
Various diagrams of produced actuator thrust as function of (a) operating parameters, (b) dielectric materials, and (c) geometry parameters. Note that the thrust data in Fig. 20(c) are already normalized with the electric power. This ratio will be introduced as fluid mechanic effectiveness in Sec (a) “Actuator thrust measurement compared with other authors. Data reproduced from Refs. [139,140], and [96].” (Reprinted with permission from Ferry and Rovey [141]. Copyright 2011 by Joseph W. Ferry.) (b) “Measured thrust per unit span/g versus rms applied voltage for various dielectric materials.” (Reprinted with permission from Thomas et al. [139].

(c) “Momentum transfer to air depends strongly on characteristic dimension of exposed electrode, even though this dimension does not affect bulk properties of the discharge.” (Reprinted with permission from Enloe et al.
