Ford applied for a patent for an “active ionic propulsion system” for cars

Ford is designing aerodynamic devices for cars that ionize air currents funneled over strips of electrodes and then pull them toward an oppositely polarized terminal, creating an “ionic wind” as they collide with regularly charged molecules, directing air precisely onto aerodynamic surfaces. The patent includes mention of high- and low-downforce modes that redirect the air accordingly. HOW UTTERLY COOL IS THAT?
