In this embodiment, the combustion chamber body is made of steel or metal alloy material, and those skilled in the art can select corresponding material according to actual needs.
The surface coating outside the combustion chamber body forms insulating and heat insulating layer by insulating thermal insulation material, and in this embodiment, insulating thermal insulation material adopts pottery, and the heat conduction effect is poor when insulating, has reduced the heat conduction efficiency to metal coil, has reduced the material requirement to metal coil.
This external and first spray tube, the second spray tube surface winding of combustion chamber is fixed with metal coil 5, and metal coil periphery parcel has the insulating cover, metal coil distributes along the helix, in this embodiment, metal coil adopts to be made by low resistance high temperature resistant material, and is preferred, metal coil adopts copper coil to make, metal coil is connected with the power, and the power can be to the metal coil circular telegram for metal coil produces magnetic field.
In this embodiment, because the metal coil is wound on the outer surface of the combustion chamber body with the U-shaped structure, after the metal coil is electrified, a clockwise or counterclockwise magnetic field can be formed inside the combustion chamber body, so that a binding effect is generated on plasma and ion clusters generated by fuel combustion.
In this embodiment, metal coil can set up a plurality ofly according to actual need, every metal coil all needs to be connected with the power, because the spray tube diameter is less, be the easiest because receive high temperature and the part that damages, consequently spray tube periphery metal coil's distribution density is greater than combustion chamber body periphery metal coil's distribution density, in this embodiment, the helix pitch at the metal coil place of winding in the spray tube part is less than the helix pitch at the metal coil place of combustion chamber body surface winding or the number of piles of spray tube part metal coil is greater than combustion chamber body periphery metal coil's number of piles, make metal coil be greater than combustion chamber body's metal coil's distribution density at the distribution density of spray tube, stronger magnetic field force has, stronger binding power has.
In this embodiment, the power supply adopts a generator, and the generator can output direct current, so that current is introduced into the metal coil to generate a magnetic field.
The combustor body is further connected with a fuel pipe 6, the first cavity and the second cavity are communicated with one fuel pipe, and the fuel pipe is used for injecting fuel into the combustor body.
Other structures of the combustion chamber can be the existing combustion chamber structure, and the detailed description is omitted.
In the conventional combustion chamber, since the thermal motion of molecules causes ions to be ejected at various angles in the thermal motion of the molecules, the motion of gas is irregular and in various directions, so that the ions will be in various directions when no magnetic field or electric field is applied for confinement. Adopt traditional combustion chamber structure, if twine metal coil, the ion collides with the chamber wall on combustion chamber upper portion easily after the circular telegram, leads to combustion chamber upper portion chamber wall high temperature. The combustion chamber, which is thus configured as a U-shaped structure, avoids this phenomenon, as seen in a classical thermodynamic model, in which the path is straight before a particle collides, so that the particle will either collide with another particle or with the combustion chamber wall, which in turn directly causes heat conduction. The combustion chamber body adopts a U-shaped structure, according to the right-hand spiral rule, the winding direction of the metal coil enables the magnetic field in the chamber to be clockwise (or anticlockwise), most of the magnetic field exists in the coil, the influence of the marginal effect is reduced, and in the physical point of view, the integral magnetic field result of any simple closed surface is 0, so that in the example that the energizing current of the cylindrical coil is I, if the direction of the magnetic field in the cylindrical coil is s, the magnetic field in the cylindrical coil is in the s directionThe magnetic field direction of the coil should be-s in the vertical plane of (a). If a closed curve is defined as a sphere with a radius R, the internal magnetic field integral should be 0 even when R is very large. When R approaches positive infinity, it can be considered that the point of the integral in the-s direction times the angle is 0 degrees. Because the integral of the magnetic field inside it is finite and the magnetic field | B |, is 0 as the distance approaches infinity, the decay of the magnetic field outside along the radius length is faster than 1/r2And because the magnetic fields at the two sides are opposite, a part of the external magnetic field is cancelled according to the superposition principle, so that the magnetic fields outside the first chamber and the second chamber are very small. And with the arrangement, the phenomenon that the magnetic field is vertical to the wall of the cavity can not occur, so that ions can be better bound, the number of colliding walls is reduced, the directions of the magnetic fields of the first chamber and the second chamber are opposite, so that the rotating directions of the charged ions are opposite, the angular momentum generated by the rotation of the ions can be offset from the statistical view, the gases of the first chamber and the second chamber are the same, the number of generated ions is also similar, the ions in one chamber can generate one-direction rotation due to the magnetic field, and the one-direction rotation brings one angular momentum. Because of conservation of angular momentum, the engine would require an opposite angular momentum to neutralize. The ions in the other chamber will also rotate due to the magnetic field, but because the magnetic field is opposite, the direction of rotation is opposite, and therefore the angular momentum is opposite. The angular momentum of the engine as a whole is 0, so the angular momentum is cancelled out.
Example 2:
this example discloses a method of operating the combustor of example 1, wherein fuel is injected into the combustor through the fuel pipe to burn, and the high temperature combustion reaction generates ion clusters and plasma, such as the combustion reaction of hydrogen, which generates some OH species-Or O2-When the generator energizes the metal coil, a magnetic field is generated in the combustion chamber body, the first spray pipe and the second spray pipe, the generated ion clusters and the plasma are bound by the magnetic field, the number of particles colliding with the wall of the combustion chamber body, the wall of the first spray pipe and the wall of the second spray pipe is greatly reduced, and further the heat conduction efficiency to the combustion chamber body, the first spray pipe and the second spray pipe is reduced, as shown in fig. 3In the particle collision-free simulation of the python program, the inner diameter of the combustion chamber is set to be 0.4m, the temperature is 4000K, the ion number is 1000, when a 0.006T magnetic field is applied, the ion number of the ion collision chamber wall can be controlled to be 10%, and if the magnetic field is not applied, the ion number of the collision chamber wall is close to 100%, so that the ion collision number can be reduced by applying the magnetic field, the temperature of the combustion chamber is reduced, the requirement on the processing materials of the combustion chamber is further reduced, the production cost is reduced, and the possibility of recycling is increased.
Example 3:
in the present embodiment, the combustion chamber described in embodiment 1 is mounted, and other structures of the engine may be the structures of the existing engines, and the specific structures thereof will not be described in detail herein.
Example 4:
this embodiment provides a liquid rocket, which is equipped with the engine described in embodiment 3, and other structures of the liquid rocket may be conventional structures, which will not be described in detail herein.
In operation, the magnetic field should be turned off or maintained at a very low level at times when no fuel is being injected. After the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and the combustion reaction has begun to proceed smoothly, the magnetic field is increased until the magnetic field reaches a set intensity.
After the rocket is finished on the ground, the rocket will maintain the magnetic field to lift off. The magnetic field will be turned off when the stage of the rocket is detached.
