1Electromagnetic projectile devices (fiction) — Electromagnetic projectile devices which use electromagnetic means to accelerate solid materials, such as Kinetic energy weaponry, Gauss guns, Mass drivers or Railguns are often used in fiction, especially science fiction.Realism of… …
2Electromagnetic pulse — Ebomb redirects here. For EBOM, see Engineering bill of materials. This article is about the general weapons effect. For other uses, see the more specific topic (for example, Electromagnetic forming) An electromagnetic pulse (sometimes… …
3Relativistic rocket — A relativistic rocket is any spacecraft that is travelling at a velocity close enough to light speed for relativistic effects to become significant. What significant means is a matter of context, but generally speaking a velocity of at least 50%… …
4Non-rocket spacelaunch — Non rocket space launch (NRS) is a launch into space where some or all needed speed and altitude is provided by non rocket means, rather than simply using conventional chemical rockets from the ground. A number of alternatives to rockets have… …
5Fusion rocket — A fusion rocket is a theoretical design for a rocket driven by fusion power which could provide efficient and long term acceleration in space without the need to carry a large fuel supply. The design relies on the development of fusion power… …
6Nuclear thermal rocket — Sketch of nuclear thermal rocket …
7Nuclear photonic rocket — In a nuclear photonic rocket, a nuclear reactor would generate such high temperatures that the blackbody radiation from the reactor would provide significant thrust. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of power to generate a small amount of… …
8Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket — Artist s impression of several VASIMR engines propelling a craft through space The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) is an electro magnetic thruster for spacecraft propulsion. It uses radio waves to ionize and heat a… …
9Gas core reactor rocket — Gas core reactor rockets are a conceptual type of rocket that is propelled by the exhausted coolant of a gaseous fission reactor. The nuclear fission reactor core may be either a gas or plasma. They may be capable of creating specific impulses of …
