BG113075A - Turboprop ion engine - Google Patents

Abstract

The idea of the turboprop ion engine is to accelerate the ions obtained from the atmosphere through which the aircraft is powered in order to obtain tracting force for propelling aircraft of various sizes, from unmanned small / drones / to large passenger aircraft capable of transcontinental flights. There are some similar developments in the field, but I dare say developments that are not implemented in a similar way, and all of these devices developed so far need fuel that is on board the aircraft. Releasing the aircraft from the weight of the fuel makes it lighter and more dynamic than the conventional on-board fuel designs. Thus adapted, the engine can also be used in atmospheres outside the earth, i.e. on other planets or their atmospheric satellites.

Description

Description

The subject of the patent application or the described invention is a turboprop ion engine for aircraft using the atmospheric composition of chemical elements as fuel.

Field of technology

The field of application of the invention is preferably the transport field.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The field of technology in which the present invention falls is aircraft engines. In general, the state of the art is such that some fuel from depleted energy sources is used to drive motors or moving parts in electric motors. There are also developments with the ionic accelerators I mentioned, but they are concentrated on a small scale and generate energy through fuel carried on board the device, respectively, the amount of thrust is relatively small.

Technical nature

The mode of operation of the invention is reduced to the use of one of the main experimentally proven effects of acceleration of ions of various elements when they are in a magnetic field. Based on this principle, the device generates thrust by accelerating ions derived from the elements of the atmosphere.

Method of operation: Several turboprops in this case inject air into an ionizing chamber. This ionizing chamber operates on well-known principles powered by electricity. The resulting mixture of ions of the elements of the air at a pressure higher than atmospheric passes into the acceleration chamber. It is essentially a tubular element surrounded by electromagnets, which create a magnetic field in the tube with direction to the other end of the tube, opposite to that from which the ions enter. Thus, in this magnetic field, the mixture of ions is accelerated and reactive thrust is obtained.

An electric motor is used to drive the turboprop, which is powered by batteries or by an electric generator mounted at the engine outlet. This electric generator uses the created air flow during movement to generate electricity. Its electricity can also be used in motion by the ionizing chamber and electromagnets.

Examples of implementation

The propeller blades can be molded and then reshaped on a CNC cutter. They are mounted to the rotating body of an electric motor in the same way, and thus make up the entire turbo propeller and the generator at the rear of the engine. The ionization chamber can be manufactured on a press and welded in the appropriate places, subsequently mounted electrical components. The accelerating chamber is a cylindrical electromagnet composed of the corresponding windings. The outer and inner parts of the streamlined housing are made of aluminum formed respectively on a drawing machine or of carbon fibers formed on the respective mold.

Application of the invention

The application of the engine is in aircraft construction. According to the thrust is suitable for different sizes of aircraft.
