Plasma propulsion.
Powerful thruster systems,
some with an exhaust that burns
hot enough to incinerate just about
anything unfortunate enough
to be in its reaction path.
The next step in the science of rocket-style propulsion,
higher efficiencies of thrust are created by higher burn
temperatures, containment not limited by the
characteristics of the holding materials,
but instead held by electromagnetic fields
that can withstand the temperatures generated,
and far in excess.
UFO Vol. III
Excerpts from 10 of the 55 entries taken at random from Volume III of the UFO
How-To series, and in no particular order:
1)
This invention relates to thrusters, and more particularly to arc initiators for
pulsed plasma thrusters for spacecraft.
2)
This invention relates generally to propulsion devices, and more particularly to
a propulsion device based on plasma acceleration principles and adapted for use
in a space environment.
With the advent of space travel, the necessity of providing a propulsion system
capable of yielding a very large specific impulse so as to require only a small
propellant mass takes on new importance. Accordingly, it is the broad object of
this invention to provide a propulsion system adaptable for space propulsion and
capable of producing a specific impulse which is very much greater than is now
obtainable by current chemical systems.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide improved means and
methods for accelerating a plasma to high velocities.
3)
A plasma propulsion system for aerospace and other applications is disclosed in
which an ionized fluid is accelerated through the system by an electric field.
The electrons separated from the ionized fluid are accelerated in a direction
opposite the ionized flow. A magnetic field decelerates the electrons. The
decelerated electrons are collected, conducted downstream, and re-inserted into
the ionize
4)
This invention relates to a method and combination of apparatus elements for
practical mechanical use of energy made available by a gaseous plasma which has
energized the gas in the so-called "pinch" effect. More particularly, according
to this invention, I control the energy imparted to gases to impart thereto a
raised energy state whereby the gas is a useful working medium for reaction
engines of various types. All of such energized gas may be utilized alone by
direct expansion to produce useful work or in combination with other gases to
support combustion and thereby produce a combustion gas in a raised energy state
useful for doing work by expansion.
5)
The present invention relates to a propulsion arrangement and more particularly
to an arrangement utilizing electromotive and magnetohydrodynamic principles for
accelerating an ionized medium.
In the development of thrust devices for outer space drives it is recognized
that maximum propellant utilization is obtainable by ejecting particles at
extremely high velocities. To obtain maximum propellant utilization, the
velocities of ejection must approach a major portion of the total velocity
increment for the mission contemplated. Persons familiar With chemical reactions
will immediately recognize that such velocities are not feasible to attain by
known forms of combustion. On the other hand various approaches have been
suggested for developing thrust by accelerating ions or charged particles and by
applying high voltage electrostatic fields to these particles to attain
velocities of the order of tens of thousands of meters per second.
In accordance with the present invention, these velocities are attainable by the
use of primary magnetic fields applied to an ionized medium or plasma to induce
a motion in the plasma on principles utilized in induction motors. As in the
case of induction motors, primary field windings create a moving magnetic field
which induces a secondary current in a shunted conductor within the moving
field. The secondary current develops a secondary magnetic field, tending to
oppose the primary magnetic fields. As the torque developed in an induction
motor is a function of the power applied to the primary windings, the thrust
force of the present device applied to the plasma conductor within the primary
magnetic fields is a function of the power applied to the primary windings.
Similarly, the thrust is a function of the slippage between the plasma conductor
and the moving primary magnetic field. In the case of an induction motor, a
maximum torque is developed during maximum slippage and a maximum velocity is
developed during minimum slippage.
6)
This invention pertains to the art of controllably producing and of accelerating
discharges of gas plasma.
Increases in understanding of electrical discharges in gases have led to
particular realization of two facts: that very high temperatures may exist in
even small volumes of gases in a terrestrial environment, and that gas molecules
in electrical discharges may exhibit very high velocities. So-called "plasma
torches" which employ a jet of highly ionized gas plasma as a source of
high-temperature energy are known; and there have, of late, been many proposals
for the use of high-velocity plasma jets to provide force reactions for the
maneuvering of space vehicles, as well as for terrestrial uses to simulate
various effects of nature.
7)
The present invention deals with a thruster, especially for use in spacecraft,
wherein an electric arc is
ignited in a gas flow between a housing which serves as an anode and an
expansion nozzle as well as the tip of a cathode which is arranged in same. The
cathode is housed so as to be electrically insulated in a first recess of the
housing, which is configured as a plenum chamber, with the cathode being
positioned with its tip portion spaced by a small air gap upstream of the
constricted cross-section of the expansion nozzle and
wherein propulsion gases are injected into the plenum chamber.
8)
The present invention pertains to apparatus and method for producing exhaust
flow, for providing thrust, for example. More particularly, the present
invention relates to techniques for producing thrust for hybrid plume varies
from a relatively high value at the propulsive purposes, such as by rocket
engines, and finds particular application in the field of engines for space
travel.
