Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and apparatus which use phase-shifted electric oscillations for generating a linear thrust force in free space.
- Propulsion in space occurs generally by expelling reaction mass, in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force” or in other words "action and reaction are always equal and opposite".
- Inertial Propulsion Engine also known as the reactionless drive or inertia drive, which uses motion of internal masses to create a net thrust
- reactionless drive or inertia drive which uses motion of internal masses to create a net thrust
- a wave needs a means to propagate, in a waveguide, such means is the resulting electric field inside the waveguide interspace, which is in a particular electrostatic equilibrium, thus oscillations on electron orbit in the waveguide walls, transfer energy propagating the wave by perturbing such means, this can be applicable to optical fiber, metallic and dielectric waveguides.
- electromagnetic wave propagates in the outer space in TEM mode (Transverse ElectroMagnetic), while inside waveguide, propagates in either TE mode (Transverse Electric), TM mode (Transverse Magnetic), or in hybrid modes.
- Electromagnetic (EM) interactions well-known premises:
- Transverse waves having a high frequency may exhibit wave-particle duality, exhibiting properties of both waves and particles, as particles they have no mass, but may have insignificant momentum proportional to their frequency.
- spectrums below THz can be considered only as waves.
- magnetic fields are generated by variation on electric fields and vice-versa; hence, for simplification, sometimes electromagnetic waves can simply be referred as electric waves, to analyze it only from the electric field point of view to facilitate a preliminary comprehension of transverse waves.
- each impulse drive acting as dipole antennas, spaced-apart along a length (L), each impulse drive fed with phase-shifted pulses, having the frequency (f) of said pulses greater than or equal to ratio of the speed of electromagnetic waves (c) in free space to length of the array (f > c/L), with the array acting as a linear motor, there will be a higher probability of an effective net thrust be produced.
- the net thrust force is expected to be produced because the speed of electrodynamic waves is limited staying below of the speed of the sequenced pattern produced by the phase-shifted oscillations.
- the phase-shifted oscillations sequentially produces a transverse force, generating a sequenced pattern, which can produce a longitudinal force in the nearby universe, thereby creating a strong electrodynamic drag for sustaining the motion, providing an enormous chance of creating a net thrust force in the outer space.
- the present invention was made in view of the prior art drawbacks described above, and the object of the present invention is to provide a workable method and apparatus to create thrust force in free space without transgressing the classical physics laws.
- the present invention provides an apparatus and method for creating net thrust force using an array of spaced-apart phase-shifted electric oscillations in order to produce an interpolation to modulate a sequenced virtual electric wave pattern a little faster than a normal electrodynamic wave in free space, which is mathematically true by following equation: (f > c/L), where f is frequency, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum, and L is the array length.

- the array of loop antenna is similar to a linear motor with single-coils, and as is widely known, the linear motor is similar to a three-phase rotary electric AC motor having its electromagnets (each electromagnet is a pair of magnetic poles) unwrapped and laid out side by side, to produce a linear thrust force.
- each a pair of poles are fed with phase angles 120° apart, respectively each dipole antenna having angles of 0°, 120°, 240°, 0°, 120°, 240°, 0°, 120°, 240°, 0°, 120°, 240°, 0°, 120°, 240°, that is a three-phase system with four pairs of poles per phase.
- the frequency should be greater than or equal to ratio of the speed of electromagnetic waves in free space to length of the array times the number of pairs of poles per phase (f > (c/L) x p), where f is frequency, c is the speed of electric wave in vacuum, L is the array length, and p is the number of pairs of poles per phase (a pair of poles is a dipole).
- each dipole antenna having phase angles 30° apart, respectively
- phased electric oscillations sequentially produce a transverse force, generating the sequenced pattern, consequently, producing a longitudinal force, creating a strong electrodynamic drag for sustaining the motion, producing the net thrust force in the outer space, independently of the interspace distance.
- number of poles can be one, number of phases must be at least three, also the number of dipole antennas must be at least three, and with one pair of poles per phase the equation can be simplified to (f>(c/L)), constituting a preferred equation.
- the array of folded dipole antenna illustrated in FIG. 5 works similarly as already explained in FIG. 4, both in transverse electric mode, differing regarding their impedances, as well it works for other types such as loop antenna, helical antenna, rhombic antenna, beverage antenna and microwave antenna.
- the array of loop antenna illustrated in FIG. 6 is an example in transverse magnetic mode; it is the closest correlation with a conventional linear AC motor.
- the proposed variation of a TWT as the preferred transverse impulse drive (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2), has the electron source 79 for emitting electrons that are accelerated toward the positive potential applied at collector 82, and successively being decelerated by the collectors 84, 86, 88, 90, 92 and 94, until the electrons land softly on collectors going to power supply 75, and again going via wire 59 to the electron source, creating powerful electric oscillations.
- the wire 40(FIG. 1) is for applying a signal of phase-shifted oscillations to control the electron source 97.
- This transverse impulse drive can be considered as a pair of poles, although asymmetric in comparison to a dipole antenna.
- each transverse impulse drive 97, 23, 27, 29, 31, and 33, at left side can be considered as an array of pairs of asymmetrical poles, having phase angles 60° apart, respectively each one having angles of 0°, 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, and 300°, that is a six-phase system with one pair of asymmetrical poles per phase.
- the transverse impulse drive at right side 54, 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34 are similar to the left side, they are for compensating possible transverse displacement of the assembly due to its dipole asymmetry, for example, each one can be either in-phase 0°, contra-phase 180°, or out of phase 90°, regarding its peer at left side, to compensate rotation, sideway shifting, and vibration.
- a frequency at least 30 M Hz will be enough for generating a linear net force.
- propulsion method with higher exhaust velocities is more propellant- efficient; however, power consumption increases with the square of the exhaust velocity; hence, using direct aneutronic fusion propulsion, having its exhausting byproducts (11.49254xl0 6 m/s) as the reaction mass from hydrogen-boron-11 (66 TJ/kg) fusion reaction :
- the power consumption will be 57.46MWatts per kilogram to achieve an acceleration of 10 m/s 2 ( ⁇ 1 g-force).
- the electrodynamic thruster will consume a million times less power to thrust a spacecraft, assuming it with 100% of efficiency without electromagnetic losses.
- many losses will occur, but even with losses, it is expected to be more efficient than conventional propulsion by expelling reaction mass, that which was to be demonstrated.
- the electrodynamic thruster of this invention evolves an improved propulsion concept, that can be used to thrust, for example, solar-powered satellites and fusion-powered spacecrafts, at very high performance levels, exceeding conventional means by factors of a million; and also it is relatively inexpensive; system performance is competitive; having a scalability of size and power, easier engineering and maintainability.
