Accion Electrospray Thrusters
Uses 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate EMI-BF4 room temperature ionic liquid
ionic liquids ... not much on EMI-BF4 - what are the melting and boiling points? What kind of temperature range can the thruster and fuel tank tolerate?
Only the TILE device appears on the October 2016 Accion Systems website
