Spore TIE Fighter
Sienar Fleet Systems manufactures TIE fighters and most TIE variants. TIE fighters’ solar panels power a twin ion engine (TIE) system that accelerates gases at a high speed along almost any vector, affording the ships tremendous speed and maneuverability. Described as lacking a hyperdrive, life support, or shield generators, the fragile TIE fighters are deployed […]
Can anyone help with these physics questions dealing with acceleration?
1. At a given instant of time, a car and a truck are traveling side by side in adjacent lanes of a highway. The car has a greater velocity than the truck. Does the car necessarily have a greater acceleration? Explain. 2.NASA has developed Deep-Space 1 (DS-1), a spacecraft that is scheduled to rendezvous with […]
Japanese “space yacht” IKAROS proves photon acceleration works
Japanese “space yacht” IKAROS proves photon acceleration works Japan’s space agency JAXA confirmed on Saturday that its experimental spacecraft IKAROS started to accelerate after unfurling its kite-like solar sail, proving that the new fuel-saving propulsion technique is no science fiction.

This physics question confuses me. Can someone explain and show how to get the answer. The steps I mean..?
NASA has developed Deep-Space 1 (DS-1), a spacecraft that is scheduled to rendezvous with the asteroid named 1992 KD (which orbits the sun millions of miles from the earth). The propulsion system of DS-1 works by ejecting high-speed argon ions out the rear of the engine. The engine slowly increases the velocity of DS-1 by […]
Bosch airs all-electric vehicle strategy
Bosch airs all-electric vehicle strategy Automotive tier one Robert Bosch GmbH has announced it will invest about € 400 million (about $ 508 million) annually in the development of all-electric powertrains and associated electronics. The company also reiterated its avowal to the internal combustion engine and hybrid drives. Read more on EETimes.de

physics, not sure how to do this problem?
In 1998, NASA launched Deep Space 1 (DS-1), a spacecraft that successfully flew by the asteroid named 1992 KD (which orbits the sun millions of miles from the earth). The propulsion system of DS-1 worked by ejecting high-speed argon ions out the rear of the engine. The engine slowly increased the velocity is DS-1 by […]

Plasma Rocket
Plasma test shots from the VASIMR VX-100 prototype plasma rocket housed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The video is slowed down to 1/2 speed. In general, these types of thrusters (ion thrusters, Hall thrusters, and VASIMR) take advantage of extremely high exhaust velocities and generally have the ability to operate continuously for months. Although the […]

Pontiac Trans Sport van, 94 – “engine” light comes on after 15 min? Gas per km is now much less.?
1. It had no light before when It passed emissions Test PRIOR to have engine rebuilt (stuck valve stem; new pistons, timing chain, sparks, cables, wires, dist. cap, rotor, oil pan, gaskets, ETC). 2. Muffler has hole in it. Hole WAS ion there before the engine repair. 3. Gasoline consumption is greater now. I took […]

Chemical rockets are extremely wasteful on fuel?
chemical rockets is extremely wasteful on fuel and have a very hard time taking up alot of payload with out a very big rocket that uses even more fuel !!!!! if you look at a NASA rocket that ENTIRE thing is carrying liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen all so that a handful of people and […]
