This article is devoted to the presentation of a numerical model of a Helicon Plasma Thruster (HPT) which relies on: 1) the 3-D adVanced fluId dRifT diffUsion plaSma solver (3D-VIRTUS) for the ...

Oleg Batishchev designed the light, cheap Mini-Helicon Plasma Thruster for deep space travel. The engine relies simply on the acceleration of plasma, a gaseous cloud in which atoms have been stripp ...

Moreover, plasma thruster simulations are generally multidisciplinary because, apart from plasma physics, they can involve other disciplines, such as material physics (plasma-wall interaction), atomic ...

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the Star Plasma Vessel is the one that is compatible with Master Tengen. Tengen, an immortal jujutsu sorcerer, dedicates their time to guarding the Tombs of the Star Corridor.

To circumvent this, scientists have turned to electrodeless plasma thrusters. One such technology harnesses radio frequency (rf) to generate plasma. An antenna emits radio waves into a cylindrical ...

An antenna emits radio waves into a cylindrical chamber to create plasma, where a magnetic nozzle channels and accelerates the plasma to generate thrust. MN rf plasma thrusters, or helicon thrusters ...

Researchers say they may have discovered the solution to a problem that has long hindered progress with a novel form of plasma propulsion that could one day carry humans to distant planets, and ...

One new type of thruster under Dr. Takahashi’s consideration — the MN rf plasma thrusters, or helicon thrusters — take an electrodeless approach to generate plasma by using radio frequencies.

Helicon thrusters, also known as MN rf plasma thrusters, provide simplicity, operational flexibility, and a potential high thrust-to-power ratio. The efficiency of the rf power to thrust energy ...

MN rf plasma thrusters, or helicon thrusters as they are sometimes known, offer simplicity, operational flexibility, and a potentially high thrust-to-power ratio.
