Comment on “Jet propulsion by microwave air plasma in the atmosphere” [AIP Adv. 10, 055002 (2020)]

In this Comment, we analyze the performance of a microwave plasma device presented by Ye et al. [AIP Adv. 10, 055002 (2020)]. The efficiency analysis, using conservation of energy, shows that the methods used by the original authors predict up to 8000% device efficiency. Our analytical model is base...
