Abstract
A motor and fuel-powered hybrid system of a rocket thruster is disclosed, which mainly provides power through a motor and a fluid fuel injector. In particular, at the beginning stage of the rocket lift-off, the motor drives the compressor to provide power to send the rocket into air. When the speed and height of the rocket gradually increase, the fuel is ignited to give power to keep propelling the rocket, thereby reducing the fluid fuel that needs to be carried on the rocket, increasing the rocket's loading space and enhancing the carrying capacity.
Claims16
A motor and fuel-powered hybrid system for a rocket thruster, comprising:
- a casing including a first tank, a second tank, and a third tank that are connected in sequence, the first tank including an air inlet and a first space communicating with each other, the second tank including a second space communicating with the first space, and the third tank including a third space communicating with the second space;
- the motor disposed in the first tank, and including a central processing system, and a compressor that is power connected to the central processing system;
- a fluid fuel injector disposed on the casing, controllingly connected to the central processing system, and including an injection head extending into the second tank, and the injection head being arranged toward the third tank to spray fluid fuel;
- and
- an igniter disposed in the third tank and controllingly connected to the central processing system, and being used for igniting fluid fuel;
- there are a first stage, a second stage and a third stage, in the first stage, the central processing system drives the compressor to operate, and the compressor provides kinetic energy, the rocket enters the second stage when raised to a certain height, in the second stage, the central processing system controls the compressor to gradually reduce load, in the third stage, the central processing system drives the fluid fuel injector to inject fluid fuel toward the third tank to provide kinetic energy, and in the first, second and third stages, the amounts of fluid fuel that the fluid fuel injector controls the central processing system to inject are the same.
