how to: build an ion engine out of scraps and a big fucking power source.
Not an ion engine. Corona discharge turbine.
These are made out of any suitable wire with coathanger being very common.
Bend to the specified geometry. Place on top of Tesla Coil secondary.
Switch the coils on and watch the heat and shockwaves of the corona discharges from the sharp points send the rotor whirling around all impressive and stuff.
Also this particular setup did not have symmetrical arms. One arm is longer than the other, thus the double-ring appearance when it is spinning.
