In one form the energy storage device is a battery operable to provide sufficient power to maneuver the spacecraft quickly to avoid space debris and/or move to a different orbit through a multi-burn thrust procedure.

Electrically powered propulsion system for use in a spacecraft

United States Patent 10384811

An electrically powered propulsion system for a spacecraft includes a first center of gravity at a first time of operation and a second center of gravity at a second time of operation, where the second center of gravity is different from the first center of gravity.

Efficient RF electromagnetic propulsion system with communications capability

United States Patent 8459002

An electronic propulsion engine that creates a propulsive force or thrust using electromagnetic forces or electrostatic forces, with an effect that is similar to the thrust of a jet or rocket engine. Forces are generated using electromagnets or capacitor plates that are separated by dielectric spacer cores and are operated with two modulated currents. The two modulated currents are synchronized, but with a relative phase such that the forces on the two magnets or capacitor plates are not balanced. Included are techniques to reduce circuit impedance and control electric-magnetic field dispersion, such as tuned LCR circuits, dielectric core materials between the magnets or capacitor plates, and RF superconductors result in high propulsion efficiencies. The system operates at RF frequencies and can also be used as a communication device.

Electromagnetic energy propulsion engine

United States Patent 5197279

An electromagnetic energy propulsion engine system including a hollow housing having a front part (50) and a rear end part (4) of material transparent to the passage of electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic field generating solenoidal windings (23), (25), having central axes parallel with the central axis of the engine and axially spaced from each other to provide a forward field generating winding (25) and a rear field generating winding (23), a power source (44), a control computer (42), and a power pulse generator (40) connected between the electromagnetic field generating windings and the power source and control computer. The forward field generating winding generates a rearwardly directed magnetic field toward the rear wall parallel to the central axis, and the rear field generating winding produces a forwardly directed magnetic field opposing the rearwardly directed magnetic field of the forward field generating winding so that the rearwardly directed magnetic field repels forwardly directed pulses of the rear magnetic generating winding. As the electrical current conduction in the rear field generating winding suddenly reduces, the continuing rearwardly directed magnetic field force transmits pulsating magnetic field energy produced by the rear field generating winding through the rear of the housing. The reaction to the rearwardly transmitted field energy produces a thrust propelling the engine and a vehicle in which it is mounted.

Electric propulsion is a class of space propulsion that uses electric force to accelerate propulsion by various electric and/or magnetic means. In total, electric propulsion engines produce a range of 10 µN to 220 mN at 50-5300 W for 2-3 years approximately weighing 440 g to 10 kg and these engines use in 2 directions to control the direction in their orbit. They are used in the orbit of the depth of space and are inefficient in the Earth's atmosphere. Most of them cost about $45 million per launch. In my invention, it can be generated up to 0.5 N in different directions even to change the orbit level, which helps satellites to perform different missions. In this product, up to 200 watts of energy is consumed, and this product can be used for up to 10 years, with 10 kg less weight, and it can even be used in the atmosphere, and it is designed in such a way that, the satellite can be conducted in a path by releasing it outside the atmosphere (due to the generation of propulsion force in a unique way) and it can be moved in any way in space by supplying energy with solar panels because they do not need gas.

Electric propulsion is a class of space propulsion that uses electric force to accelerate propulsion by various electric and/or magnetic means. The use of electric force increases propulsion performance (EP) compared to ordinary chemical thrusters. Unlike chemical systems, electric propulsion requires very little mass to accelerate the spacecraft. The propulsion is launched up to twenty times faster than a classical chemical thruster, and thus the overall system is several times more efficient than mass. Electric propulsion power (EP) is not limited in energy compared to chemical propulsion and it is limited only by the existing electric force in the spacecraft. Therefore, EP is suitable for applications with low thrust (micro and millinewton levels) for long durations in spacecraft. The propulsion used in EP systems varies depending on the type of thruster and can be a rare gas (eg xenon or argon), a liquid metal, or, in some cases, an ordinary thruster. However, the main problem in the field of electric propulsion is the lack of long-term use of them and the cost of each launch in replacing the satellite. Also, they only can stay in a designated orbit and are used in the orbit of the depth of space, and are not efficient in the Earth's atmosphere. The purpose of the present invention is to create an electric propulsion engine with the ability to generate a lot of power in the depth of space and atmosphere for a long time by electromagnetic waves, which in addition to lower cost and weight, can be used for a long time even in the atmosphere. In addition, it does not need a fuel tank to increase its service life and can replace the orbit in space.

Solution of problem

Electric propulsion is a class of space propulsion that uses electric force to accelerate propulsion by various electric and/or magnetic means. The use of electric force increases propulsion performance (EP) compared to ordinary chemical thrusters. Unlike chemical systems, electric propulsion requires very little mass to accelerate the spacecraft. The propulsion is launched up to twenty times faster than a classical chemical thruster, and thus the overall system is several times more efficient than mass. Electric propulsion power (EP) is not limited in energy compared to chemical propulsion and it is limited only by the existing electric force in the spacecraft. Therefore, EP is suitable for long-term low-thrust applications in spacecraft (micro and millinewton levels). The propulsion used in EP systems varies depending on the type of thruster and can be a rare gas (eg xenon or argon), a liquid metal, or, in some cases, an ordinary thruster. However, the main problem in the field of electric propulsion is the lack of long-term use of them and the cost of each launch in replacing the satellite. Also, they only can stay in a designated orbit and are used in the orbit of the depth of space, and are not efficient in the Earth's atmosphere.

Various applications that currently use electric propulsion systems or may use them in the future are as follows:

LEO (For example, Earth observation, Earth science, constellations, satellites)

MEO (For example navigation)

GEO (For example, telecommunications)

It can also be used in space transportation, for example, space tugs, keeping satellites in orbit, space science, and interplanetary and space exploration. For these different types of missions and requirements, this technology faces operational challenges to be able to handle various types of maneuvers including electric transfer from GTO to GEO, station keeping, interorbital transfer, interplanetary cruise, continuous LEO, operations (air drag control), (super) good attitude control and/or very agile, long-term missions and so on.

In total, electric propulsion engines produce a range of 10 µN to 220 mN at 50-5300 W for 2-3 years approximately weighing 440 g to 10 kg and these engines use in 2 directions to control the direction in their orbit. They are used in the orbit of the depth of space and are inefficient in the Earth's atmosphere. Most of them cost about $45 million per launch. In my invention, it can be generated up to 0.5 N in different directions even to change the orbit level, which helps satellites to perform different missions. In this product, up to 200 watts of energy is consumed, and this product can be used for up to 10 years, with 10 kg less weight, and it can even be used in the atmosphere, and it is designed in such a way that the satellite can be conducted in a path by releasing it outside the atmosphere (due to the generation of propulsion force in a unique way) and it can be moved in any way in space by supplying energy with solar panels because they do not need gas.

In this invention, using a new theory called rotation theory, which is expressed by the inventor, this force is produced in two ways:

With the continuous rotation of the magnetic field which is perpendicular to the electric current. In this method, by charging a magnetic sphere that continuously rotates in a variable magnetic field and by capacitors perpendicular to the external magnetic field they cause a current in the charged sphere, and the propulsion force is created in the direction perpendicular to the rotation of the sphere.
By creating a linear magnetic field and creating the rectified equation of AC voltage, whose equation is shifted above v=0. In other words, this equation is applied to a coil at the bottom of a pipe that this pipe is surrounded by magnets to create a maximum linear magnetic field. In this method, the propulsion force is in the direction of the linear magnetic field or the coil’s magnetic field.

In general, this device can generate power with electromagnetic fields and forces. This device uses coils (number 2), magnets, electric charges, and electronic circuits to generate this power. Its dimensions are in the made sample 20*20*5 cm. This product in various types can lift objects in the atmosphere of the Earth and the vacuum (based on theoretical calculations and experiments) and can be widely used in the aviation and transportation industries. In fact, designs and calculations have been done and prototypes have been made.

The parts used are as follows:

Magnetic sphere, ball bearing, shaft, coil, metal or cupric plate, and generator function.

By turning on the function based on the required signal that is attached to the metal plates and coils, the magnetic field of coils and magnetic sphere impact on each other and cause the sphere rotation and also the metal plates are charged. When the sphere is rotating, it is given a specific electrical charge that eventually changes the weight of the product on the scales. The magnetic sphere is mounted on the shaft and ball bearings and the coils and metal plates are also around the sphere. In the propulsion engine designed before the device is turned on, the magnetic sphere (No. 5) is charged then the coils (number 2) are turned on by the power supply, the magnetic field sphere rotates and is adjusted as a frequency magnetic field, then, as the intended field in a phase and between two of the capacitors (No. 4), weight gain occurs, and the gravitational field is produced. Production of up to 50 grams of propulsion force that remains up to 85 % in the engine after cutting off the circuit. This is due to the induction of the gravity field and its interaction with the gravity field of other planets and stars.
