China is making headlines with its groundbreaking development of electric plasma jet engines, a technology that could reshape the future of aviation. With a clear vision to revolutionize the way ...

The plasma rocket engine prototype is currently being tested in a vacuum chamber that simulates the conditions of space, measuring 14 meters long and 4 meters in diameter, according to Izvestia.

LAS VEGAS (CN) – A phony inventor of a “plasma engine” that could “run for months” on $1 in fuel defrauded investors of $1.4 million, a federal judge ruled. Seventy-two-year-old John P. Rohner scooped ...

Leaving on a plasma plane FORGET fuel-powered jet engines. We're on the verge of having aircraft that can fly from the ground up to the edge of space using air and electricity alone. Traditional ...

“We want to develop a system that can operate above an altitude of 30 kilometers where standard jet engines cannot go,” he says. These could even take passengers to the edge of the atmosphere and ...

If that isn't enough Chang Diaz, retired from NASA since 2005, works at his Houston, TX-based Ad Astra Rocket Co. developing a revolutionary plasma engine.

Plasma engines depend on the vacuum of space and still require “venerable chemical rockets,” as Chang Díaz calls them, to reach Earth orbit.

When an engine fails or becomes very worn, it is usually scrapped. Ford wants to change that by utilizing a high-tech plasma process to remanufacture broken engines. The process reduces carbon ...

Plasma is made of charged particles, which means it can be manipulated with magnetic fields. However, this sophisticated type of engine uses a magnetic nozzle, which wasn’t working as expected.

The next waypoint on Psyche's voyage will be a flyby of Mars in May 2026. Officials expect Psyche to keep that date, which is critical for using Mars' gravity to slingshot the spacecraft deeper into ...

This plasma ignition system can increase engine efficiency by 20% The TPS ignition system has been designed to work with existing engines. Jonathan M. Gitlin – Jun 8, 2022 8:00 am | 301 ...
