Taylor cone
open-in-new
<p>A Taylor cone refers to the cone observed in <a href="/facts/Electrospinning/H9dsU3KQ">electrospinning</a>, <a href="/facts/Electrospray/uAEAkoFJ">electrospraying</a> and hydrodynamic spray processes from which a jet of charged particles emanates above a threshold voltage. Aside from <a href="/facts/Electrospray_ionization/yNgPJBoB">electrospray ionization</a> in <a href="/facts/Mass_spectrometry/RH5WBHJ2">mass spectrometry</a>, the Taylor cone is important in <a href="/facts/Field-emission_electric_propulsion/11wecFbM">field-emission electric propulsion</a> (FEEP) and <a href="/facts/Colloid_thruster/kdSvykNU">colloid thrusters</a> used in fine control and high efficiency (low power) thrust of spacecraft. </p>
