Nasa Directions in Space Propulsion
In his National Space Policy of 1988, President Reagan committed to a goal of expanding human presence and activity in the solar system. This goal has provided the impetus for a resurgence of activity across a broad range of space technology efforts in general and for a number of propulsion technology programs in particular. Building on recommendations from several detailed studies of the U.S. ...
متن کاملPhotoinduced Force Mapping of Plasmonic Nanostructures.
The ability to image the optical near-fields of nanoscale structures, map their morphology, and concurrently obtain spectroscopic information, all with high spatiotemporal resolution, is a highly sought-after technique in nanophotonics. As a step toward this goal, we demonstrate the mapping of electromagnetic forces between a nanoscale tip and an optically excited sample consisting of plasmonic...
متن کاملBiologically inspired force enhancement for maritime propulsion and maneuvering
The move to high performance applications greatly increases the demand to produce large instantaneous fluid forces for high-speed maneuvering and improved power efficiency for sustained propulsion. Animals achieve remarkable feats of maneuvering and efficiency by changing their body shape to generate unsteady fluid forces. Inspired by this, we have studied a range of immersed bodies which drast...
متن کاملEstimating Hand-rim Force of Wheelchair Propulsion Using Portable Sensors
Shoulder pain and injury are highly prevalent among manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) [18]. The consequences of upper extremity (UE) pain are significant because manual wheelchair users rely on their arms for mobility and independence. Specific biomechanical parameters of wheelchair propulsion such as cadence, magnitude of force, and pattern of the hand during the no propuls...
متن کاملAdvancements in Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) for Space Propulsion
The development of a dense plasma focus (DPF) propulsion device using p-B is described. A propulsion system of this type is attractive because of its high thrust-to-weight ratio capabilities at high specific impulses. From a fuel standpoint, p-B is advantageous because of the aneutronic nature of the reaction, which is favorable for the production of thrust since the charged particles can be ch...
