caption_attribution_description: English: Photograph of a meniscus of Polyvinyl Alcohol in aqueous solution showing a fibre drawn from a Taylor Cone by the process of electrospinning.
context_page_description: A Taylor cone refers to the cone observed in electrospinning, electrospraying and hydrodynamic spray processes from which a jet of charged particles emanates above a threshold voltage. Aside from electrospray ionization in mass spectrometry, the Taylor cone is important in field-emission electric propulsion and colloid thrusters used in fine control and high efficiency thrust of spacecraft.

Aside from electrospray ionization in mass spectrometry, the Taylor cone is important in field-emission electric propulsion (FEEP) and colloid thrusters used in fine control and high efficiency (low power) thrust of spacecraft.
