Shall I get out and push? The Tie series of starfighters get their name, at least in part, from their propulsion system – Twin Ion Engines. As an aside, the trademark roaring sounds were created ...

More often than not, spacecraft thrusters will rely on solid chemical ... These include Nuclear Pulse Propulsion (NPP), a method researched through Project Orion between 1958 to 1963.

China’s “high-thrust magnetic plasma thruster”, designed by the Xian Aerospace Propulsion Institute, was able to achieve stable operation at its full power of 100 kilowatts. “The ...

"I think that email was perhaps interpreted as a performance review, but actually it was a pulse check review. Do you have a pulse?" Musk said. "And if you have a pulse and two neurons, you could ...

Inspired by NASA aerospace engineering, this project features a plasma thruster, designed to maximize efficiency and increase the voltage output. For that, Maker created a homemade ionic plasma ...
