Electro-impulse deicing (EIDI) which uses EM field induced eddy currents has been demonstrated to be an effective ice protection technology in various applications. The applications that EIDI has been demonstrated on by flight tests or icing wind-tunnel tests are the large transport aircraft, engine inlet, general aviation, business jets and commuter jets, and helicopter rotor blades. Various computer codes have been written for analyzing the pulse circuit, the electrodynamics, and structural response. It is concluded that EIDI is the only ice protection technology that has demonstrated potential in all market segments and does not impose the energy consumption penalties of present ice protection technologies.
