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 FEEP and colloid thrusters used in fine control and high efficiency (low power) thrust of spacecraft.

Till I enravisht climb into

Where all my pipes inspir’de upraise
And Heavenly musick, furr’d with praise.”
