Impulse type cycle engine

Abstract

The invention provides an impulse type cycle engine which comprises an accelerating device used for accelerating a particle beam to a high sublight speed state. After the particle beam is acceleratedin the accelerating device to obtain high-speed kinetic energy and extra mass, the particle beam is discharged through a spray pipe to propel an aircraft to go forward. According to the impulse type cycle engine, particles are accelerated to high sublight speed to obtain great impulse to propel the aircraft. Different from propulsion of a chemical specific impulse mode, the impulse type cycle engine does not need to carry a large disposable working medium and is suitable for remote driving.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft drive, and more specifically relates to a pulse type impulse cycle engine. Background technique [0002] Almost all current space-driven methods rely on directly discarding the working medium or driving a certain medium in the environment. In the space environment, there are two problems with this driving method: one is that there is almost no usable medium in space. Although solar sails can use sunlight, their efficiency is extremely low. Second, the specific impulse of chemical energy propulsion determines that no matter how large the driving target is, it cannot carry enough disposable working medium while satisfying the remote driving capability. The third is that the chemical specific impulse propulsion method can only reach the second cosmic speed, and the maximum speed that can be propelled is only more than ten kilometers per second, which cannot directly drive the aircraft to fly away f...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the space environment, this driving method has two problems: one is that there is almost no usable medium in space, although solar sails can use sunlight, but the efficiency is extremely low

Second, the specific impulse of chemical energy propulsion determines that no matter how large the driving target is, it cannot carry enough disposable working medium while satisfying the remote driving capability

The third is that the chemical specific impulse propulsion can only reach the second cosmic speed, and the maximum speed that can be propelled is only more than ten kilometers per second, which cannot directly drive the aircraft to fly away from the solar system

The existing space drive mode has become a bottleneck, whether it is high specific impulse rockets, electrochemical engines, solar sails, or gravity-accelerated orbit-changing technologies, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of driving long-distance space vehicles

Antimatter engines are not very safe, and antimatter fuel is not easy to prepare on a large scale, and it is extremely difficult to store them in large quantities.
