Spiral waveform vibration ion engine

Abstract

The invention discloses a spiral waveform vibration ion engine. A shell, an insulation heat insulation layer, a coil heating layer, a first insulation layer, an electrode cavity, a second insulation layer and a magnetic field generation rod are sequentially arranged from the outermost layer to the innermost layer of the ion engine. The electrode cavity sequentially comprises an electrode cavity outer ring, a third insulating layer, a fourth insulating layer and an electrode cavity inner ring from outside to inside; a propellant is filled between the third insulating layer and the fourth insulating layer; and two poles of the coil heating layer, the outer ring of the electrode cavity, the inner ring of the electrode cavity and two poles of the magnetic field generating rod are electrically connected with an alternating current power supply. The spiral waveform vibration ion engine has the beneficial effects of high efficiency and large thrust-weight ratio; cleanness and no carbon emission are realized; according to different properties of the carrier, the engine can select different metals, liquid metals or strong electrolytes as propellants; the engine can be designed to be cylindrical, disc-shaped or ring-shaped according to different shapes of carriers; and energy is saved, and long-time use can be achieved by one-time propellant filling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to a helical waveform vibration ion engine. Background technique [0002] An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc., such as internal combustion engines. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy. The engine is not only applicable to the power generation device, but also refers to the whole machine including the power device (such as: gasoline engine, aero engine). [0003] Existing engines come in various forms. Steam turbines are bulky; fuel engines cause air pollution; electric motors have low efficiency; aerospace engines such as rockets carry too much fuel, and a series of problems cannot be effectively solved.
