Abstract
A propulsion system has a means generating an electric current, an element generating a magnetic field substantially perpendicular to the electric current, an element forming a duct arranged so that by interaction of the magnetic field and the electric current a force in a liquid accommodated in the duct is produced and the liquid is moved, and a shaped element formed so that the moved liquid passes through the shaped element and applies a thrust force to the shaped element in a forward direction and then exits the shaped element to create a reaction force in an opposite direction to provide an additional thrust force applied to the shaped element.
Claims9
A propulsion system, comprising a shaped element attachable to an object to be propulsed and a magnetohydrodynamic propulsion device including means generating an electric current and means generating a magnetic field substantially perpendicular to the electric current and means forming an inner duct, said magnetohydrodynamic propulsion device being located as a whole upstream of said shaped element and forming with the latter at least one arcuate duct, so that by interaction of the magnetic field and the electric current of the magnetohydrohynamic device a force in a liquid is produced which pulls the liquid into said inner duct in a propulsion direction, then pushes the liquid through said inner duct in the propulsion direction into said arcuate duct to apply a thrust force in the propulsion direction, and then the liquid leaves said arcuate duct to create a reaction force in the propulsion direction to provide an additional thrust force applied to said shaped element in the propulsion direction.
