Ionics

He appeared in Green Bay, smelling so abominably of singed hair and scorched skin that he entered the local Presteign shop (jewels, perfumes, cosmetics, ionics & surrogates) to buy a deodorant. ❋ Bester, Alfred (1956)

The nuclear batteries were ninety-percent used up, which still left considerable time -- fortunately, because they had to add battery power to the normally sun-energized shoulder-ionics, in order to get any reasonable decelerating effect out of them. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Out here, free of the grip of any large sphere, there was hardly a limit to the load which their ionics could eventually accelerate sufficiently to travel tremendous distances. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Then they were in space, with extra ionics pushing the bales. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

"With just sun-power on these lousy shoulder-ionics?" ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

They tested the power on the shaky ionics, and got ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

And so they did, each gripping the rigging at their bubb rims, and using the minute but accumulative thrust of the shoulder ionics of their ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

The Planet Strappers stood in the rigging of their fragile vehicles, setting the full-sized ionics to produce increased acceleration which would gradually push the craft beyond orbit. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

With only solar power -- derived through worn-out thermocouple units -- to feed their uncertain ionics, they could change course only very slowly, now. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

They had left him alone and apparently unconscious, inside his ring, because all ionics, including his, had had to be set. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Worse, the solar thermocouples to power the ionics were almost shot. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

During the next several Earth-days of time, they accelerated with all the power that their bubb ionics could wring out of the sunshine, weakened now, with distance. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Seven bubbs, minus most of even their simpler fittings, and five ionics, seemed as much as they could pay for, themselves. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Lester's blastoff drums were still in the freight compartment, but the ionics and air-restorers had been similarly rendered unworkable. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

But small boxes of parts and raw stock for the ionics had begun to arrive, too. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Drawing power for their shoulder-ionics from their almost spent nuclear batteries, they glided toward the cluster, and got into its midst, doubling themselves up to look as much like the other chunks as possible. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Gimp Hines and David Lester were waiting inside the stellene reception dome when Nelsen and Ramos landed lightly at the port on their own feet, with no more braking assistance than their own shoulder-ionics. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Slowly, pushed by their shoulder ionics, Gimp, Ramos and Frank Nelsen drifted over to see what they could do for Lester. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

Pallas, with only half-functioning ionics to get them there, fuddled them in their inexperience. ❋ Raymond Z. Gallun (1952)

My [Ionic Breeze] keeps [my room] [smelling] clean, even though it never is. ❋ Jeffrey DeWaters (2005)

Man, [covalent and ionic bonds] really need to get their [act] [together]. ❋ Jhoppykins (2011)
