inertial reaction
1Inertial confinement fusion — (ICF) is a process where nuclear fusion reactions are initiated by heating and compressing a fuel target, typically in the form of a pellet that most often contains a mixture of deuterium and tritium.To compress and heat the fuel, energy is… …
2Inertial electrostatic confinement — (often abbreviated as IEC) is a concept for retaining a plasma using an electrostatic field. The field accelerates charged particles (either ions or electrons) radially inward, usually in a spherical but sometimes in a cylindrical geometry. Ions… …
3Inertial fusion power plant — An Inertial fusion power plant is intended to produce electric power by use of inertial confinement fusion techniques on an industrial scale. This type of power plant is still in a research phase.It is frequently assumed that the only medium term …
4Inertial frame of reference — In physics, an inertial frame of reference is a frame of reference which belongs to a set of frames in which physical laws hold in the same and simplest form. According to the first postulate of special relativity, all physical laws take their… …
5Reaction (physics) — In classical mechanics, Newton s third law states that forces occur in pairs, one called the Action and the other the Reaction ( actio et reactio in Latin). Both forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The distinction between… …
6Centrifugal force — Not to be confused with Centripetal force. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
7Woodward effect — The Woodward Effect, also called the Mach Effect (particularly by Dr. Woodward himself), is an experimental method for propellantless propulsion. It was first proposed by Dr. James F. Woodward, a physicist at California State University at… …
8Pulse jet engine — A pulse jet engine (or pulsejet) is a very simple form of internal combustion engine based jet engine where combustion occurs in pulses. A typical pulsejet comprises an air intake fitted with a one way valve, a combustion chamber, and an… …
9Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a …
