Such a new pulsed plasma propulsion system driven with one thousand pulses per second would already have thrust-to-area ratios (50-150 kN/m²) of modern jet engines. An array of thrusters could enable ...

How Plasma Powers the Engine Plasma, the fourth state of matter, consists of charged particles like ions and electrons. Found naturally in the sun and lightning, it can also be generated in ...

On the road to creating an electrodeless spacecraft propulsion engine Date: June 16, 2017 Source: Tohoku University Summary: Researchers have been trying to find out how the plasma flow is ...

Sedna will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, giving us a rare opportunity to visit the planetoid before it drifts ...

Plasma engines generate extreme heat, which can damage engine components over time. Tang’s team is investigating advanced materials and cooling systems to mitigate these effects.

Fossil fuel-free jet propulsion system powered by PLASMA can generate the same amount of thrust as a commercial jet engine, scientists claim. Chinese prototype device uses plasma, the fourth state ...

Travel to the moon, asteroids, Mars and other nearby destinations could become more affordable if a Virginia-based company achieves its goal of building cheaper electric space propulsion.

Researchers in China have demonstrated a prototype device that uses microwave air plasmas for jet propulsion, an advance that could one day replace fossil fuel combustion engines. ... Instead, the ...
