Plasma collision offect propeller

Abstract

A plasma knock-on effect thruster is a propulsion motor without consuming propelling medium. Because of not requiring the consumption of too much fuel, the thruster can make the spacecraft have more spaces to load the payload suitable for the attitude control of the spacecraft or a long-distance, long-time space navigation. The principle of the invention is that: by the action of the induced electric field the plasma is made to accelerate and knock on the member fixed with the spacecraft together, so as to change the momentum of the spacecraft. The plasma as the propelling medium can be used cyclical and the needed energy is only the electric energy.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention is a propulsion engine that does not need to consume propellant medium, its propellant medium—plasma can be recycled, and the required energy is only electric energy. Because it does not need to consume a large amount of fuel, it can enable the space vehicle to have more space to load payloads, and is suitable for attitude control of space vehicles or long-distance and long-time space travel. Background technique: [0002] The space engine most familiar to human beings should be the rocket engine, but the shortcomings of this engine are obvious. The volume and weight occupied by chemical fuel are too large, the thrust is too small, and the efficiency is limited. Therefore, scientists from various countries have come up with various more advanced engines: nuclear engines, interstellar ramjet engines, antimatter engines, ion engines, photon engines, and even thought of using the light pressure and stellar wind of stars to raise lig...
