22Nuclear pulse propulsion — An artist s conception of the Project Orion basic spacecraft, powered by nuclear pulse propulsion. Nuclear pulse propulsion (or External Pulsed Plasma Propulsion, as it is termed in one recent NASA document[1]) is a proposed method of spacecraft… …
23Field Emission Electric Propulsion — (FEEP) is an advanced electrostatic propulsion concept, a form of ion thruster, that uses liquid metal (usually either caesium or indium) as a propellant. A FEEP device consists of an emitter and an accelerator electrode. A potential difference… …
24High Power Electric Propulsion — (HiPEP) is a variation of ion thruster. It was ground tested in 2003 by NASA and intended for use on the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter, which was canceled in 2005. Theory The HiPEP thruster differs from earlier ion thrusters because the xenon ions… …
25United States gravity control propulsion research (1955 - 1974) — American interest in gravity control propulsion research intensified during the early 1950s. Literature from that period used the terms anti gravity, anti gravitation, baricentric, counterbary, electrogravitics, G projects, gravitics, gravity… …
26Project Orion (nuclear propulsion) — An artist s conception of the NASA reference design for the Project Orion spacecraft powered by nuclear propulsion. Project Orion was a study of a spacecraft intended to be directly propelled by a series of explosions of atomic bombs behind the… …
27Alternative propulsion — is a term used frequently for powertrain concepts differing from the internal combustion engine concept used in only petroleum fueled vehicles.DefinitionThe term alternative propulsion or alternate methods of propulsion includes both *… …
28Electric propulsion — is a form of spacecraft propulsion used in outer space. This type of rocket like reaction engine utilize electric energy to obtain thrust from propellant carried with the vehicle. Unlike rocket engines these kinds of engines do not necessarily… …
