Electric Propulsion - University Of Michigan Plasmadynamics & Electric Propulsio
Researching electric space propulsion with the goal of increased efficiency and better understanding of spacecraft integration issues.
http://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/aero/spacelab/

Extractions: W elcome to the Plasmadynamics and Electric Propulsion Laboratory (PEPL) at the University of Michigan Department of Aerospace Engineering . The lab was founded in 1992 under the direction of Associate Professor Alec Gallimore and since that time has been embarked on an experimental and theoretical program with the following goals: 1) To make electric propulsion (EP) devices more efficient and of better performance; 2) To understand spacecraft integration issues which could impede the widespread use of these devices on scientific, commercial, and military spacecraft; and 3) To identify non-propulsion applications of EP systems (e.g., plasma processing, space-plasma simulation). The centerpiece of the laboratory is the large vacuum test facility that was built in the early 1960s by the Bendix corporation and was later donated to the university in 1982. This cylindrical stainless-steel clad tank, which is 9 m long and 6 m in diameter, is the largest vacuum facility of its kind at any university in the nation. At high-vacuum, the chamber employs seven cryopumps, with a combined pumping speed of 500,000 l/s on air, and 240,000 l/s on xenon.

Extractions: Center Welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Aeronautics Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics How do airplanes work? Why does a wing change shape on takeoff and landing? Beginner's Guide to Propulsion How do jet engines work? Why are there different kinds of jet engines? Beginner's Guide to Model Rockets The Beginner's Guide to Model Rockets will show you the basic math and physics that govern the design and flight of model rockets. Beginner's Guide to Kites The Beginner's Guide to Kites will show you the basic math and physics that govern the design and flight of kites. I n the 21st century, airplanes are a normal part of everyday life. We see them fly over, or read about them, or see them on television. Most of us have traveled on an airplane, or we know someone who has. Do you ever wonder how airplanes fly? What causes the lift that gets the airplane off the runway? How does a pilot control the movement of the airplane? Why are the engines on an airliner different from the engines on a fighter plane? How does aerodynamics affect the flight of a model rocket or a kite? The information at this site is provided by the NASA Glennn Learning Technologies Project (LTP) to give you a better understanding of how aircraft work. Each page at this site describes a single topic related to basic airplane aerodynamics, propulsion, model rockets, and kites. At the top of each page is a slide that illustrates the topic. The slide is accompanied by a caption that explains what the slide is all about and goes into some detail about the physics and math related to the subject of the slide. There are often links and references to other slides and sites where you can find additional information.

Centrospazio Home
A space technology research laboratory specialized in Electric propulsion development and testing Hall thrusters, FEEP systems, MPD thrusters, arcjets.
http://www.centrospazio.cpr.it

Extractions: Centrospazio is a space technology laboratory set up in 1989 in the outskirts of Pisa. Founded and directed by Prof. Mariano Andrenucci , Centrospazio was established as a part of Consorzio Pisa Ricerche (Pisa Research Consortium), jointly formed in 1987 by the University of Pisa , the National Research Council ( CNR ) and the Italian Institute for Public Enterprise (IRI). Through the consortium scheme Centrospazio retains a close link with the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Pisa, sharing part of its personnel and resources and serving as a top-level laboratory for graduate students and researchers. On the other hand, Centrospazio's own staff can be tailored to the needs of ongoing activities, and its own separate administration gives it the possibility to undertake contracts and interact with industrial counterparts and funding bodies with the promptness and the flexibility of a private enterprise. Centrospazio's facilities are primarily intended to perform experimental activities requiring simulated space vacuum. However, it hosts a variety of other activities ranging from theoretical and computational studies to other types of space oriented experiments not involving vacuum simulation. Centrospazio's premises are located in an industrial estate for the development of small to medium sized businesses, about 10 minutes distance from the city centre, main railway station and the airport.

Marine maneuvering and propulsion systems.
http://www.omnithruster.com/

Extractions: For 25 years OmniThruster has been a world leader in the development of waterjet maneuvering systems. Our unique, patented designs, which provide diverse maneuverability and auxiliary propulsion, have been the installation choice on vessels worldwide. An OmniThruster produces thrust continuously ... with nozzles in or out of the water... in rough seas... in strong currents... while pitching, yawing, rolling, or heaving. An OmniThruster can even produce thrust while the vessel is underway at several knots, a condition in which conventional propeller tunnel thrusters are subject to cavitation and do not produce thrust, if at all. OmniThruster's patented system consists of five basic proprietary building blocks: Kinetic Converter takes input shaft energy and produces usable hydraulic energy by the use of a mixed flow impeller. Steering Vanes continuously meter, or proportion, a percentage of the fluid flow to one or both sides of the vessel. Nozzles accelerate the mass of water creating a thrust force at the hull interface.

Interstellar Transportation
General concepts and preliminary design for electrostatic propulsion system with goal of reaching 0.2 to 0.5c for interstellar voyages.
http://hometown.aol.com/malcolmbmcneill/InterstellarTransportationExplo.html

Extractions: Travel to the nearby star systems using maximum velocities greater than 0.5 light speed can be initiated using essentially current technology. After placing the Power Collector Beam Collimator/ Controller Station in solar orbit and placing the assembled Interstellar Vehicle in earth geosynchronous orbit, the Alpha Centauri system can be reached in less than 10 years An operational concept is presented with high level design descriptions supporting this assertion. The design, development, test, and production of this system will be a global economic driver exceeding that of the combined effects of the jet transport and information service processing industries of the 20th century. Can such a rising tide fail to lift each boat? This will generate a veritable economic tsunami! Interstellar exploration and the colonization of extrasolar planets will provide a source of immense enhancement of human species survivability;
