Power Accounting for Ship Electric Propulsion
Coarse and accurate power accounting methods for ship electric propulsion are observed and compared. For the purpose of analysis, the propulsion system has been separated into two units, namely the ship load and the motor drive. In the load model, variation of such factors like static and dynamic hull resistance and efficiency is explored while the supply characteristics, drive loading, propell...
متن کاملAssessment of High-Power Electric Multi-Mode Spacecraft Propulsion Concepts
Multi-mode spacecraft propulsion systems utilizing a chemical monopropellant or bipropellant thruster and high-power electric Hall, arcjet, or pulsed inductive thruster were analyzed and compared in terms of mission capabilities. These systems are most effective compared to an all-chemical system when greater than 25% of the total delta-V is accomplished by the electric system due to the high m...
متن کاملPerformance Characterization of the Low-Power Halo Electric Propulsion System
Performance measurements have been obtained of a novel propulsion concept called the Halo thruster under developmentwithin theUniversity of Surrey. TheHalo thruster, a type of cusped-field thrusterwith close similarity to the cylindrical Hall thruster, is motivated by the need for low-power and low-cost electric propulsion for the small satellite sector. Two versions of the device are investiga...
متن کاملHigh-Power Propulsion Strategies for Aquatic Take-off in Robotics
The ability to move between air and water with miniature robots would allow distributed water sampling and monitoring of a variety of unstructured marine environments, such as coral reefs and coastal areas. To enable such applications, we are developing a new class of aerial-aquatic robots, called Aquatic Micro Aerial Vehicles (AquaMAVs), capable of diving into the water and returning to flight...
متن کاملNew Laser Applications for Electric Propulsion
Various applications of lasers to electric propulsion problems have previously been made, and laser techniques are potentially powerful means to address and resolve a range of current issues. Studies with sufficiently high resolution and sensitivity to reveal the fine details of velocity, density, and temperature distributions for trace species will be especially valuable. Continuous narrowband...
