Abstract
NMSET and related device uses and improvements to the forces generated. Laminar flow control systems benefit from NMSET and related devices as they simplify installation and are easier to retrofit on existing aircraft. Necessary temperature gradients can me generated by using a heated material with the sides at different energy accommodation coefficients. Surface geometries can be used to increase the force generated. Photovoltaic film can be embedded into the membrane, providing a source of energy that can offset the power required for desired thrust. Intake scoops improve the air flow through the micro thrusters and surface geometries, and airflow diffusers increase air flow interaction with the hotter surface resulting in higher thrust outputs.
