You can do without moving parts entirely if you can move air by other means, which pretty much means just ionizing air and then using electric fields to accelerate it
That’s actually what I thought this was about at first which if it had been would be pretty big as I’m not aware of any ion thruster that’s useful for in atmosphere operation. Sadly this is not that.

Yup. Plasma channel plays a lot with them. They’re a great concept. But way hard to harness properly.
