Wouldn’t this be a good start for NASA?
You know they put nuclear reactors in submarines. NASA should put a nuclear reactor in a space ship, and using the energy to create ion propulsion for the thrust. Wouldn’t that work out great?
Swapping a regular combustion engine with an electric motor in a 240z?
Well I’m planning on purchasing a 240z, but as you can all see lately the gas prices are going nowhere except upwards, so I’m thinking about getting an electric motor swap on a 240z project car. I’m going to need high polymer lithium ion batteries as well, but what do you guys think?
ion engines?
during a recent show I watched, they were talking about using ION Engines instead of the ordinary chemical mixture that NASA uses now. My question is, will it make the craft faster using these new ion engines? will it make it quieter? How much difference will there be besides the chemical mixture?
How many propulsion engines and what are they?
How many types of propultion systems are there??? Working and in theory. Some that I know would be “Ion pulse engine, steam, gas, hot air. most know as combustion engines. For your answer please let me know the name and what it uses as fule.
How long does it take to go to Jupiter from earth?
For example, how long would it take in a shuttle, assuming you were propelled along the way by an Ion engine? If anyone needs to know the distance, assume 4.2 AU. At most it could be 6.2, but I’m assuming best-case-scenario. If anyone could give me lowest and highest possible answers, that’d be great.
Future space propulsion and power.?
So from what I read at our current technological level just about the perfect way of powering and moving ships through space would be a combination of ion propulsion and fusion reactors. Does that seems like a fair thing to say? Would it open the solar system up to humans? I’d personally say that by […]

When we finally go to Mars with a manned mission, what propulsion system will be used?
Nuclear, chemical, ion? Any others in the works? Speed is essential, and there must be a way to cut the time for the mission. Suggestions?

Is anyone working on the next BIG step for propulsion?
Seems like crossing space the conventional way (chemical and ION engines) takes a really long time to get where you’re going. Is anyone working on the next quantum leap forward for propulsion? I hate to use the term ‘WARP’ engine because it involves warping space and time but isn’t that the way it needs to […]
Panasonic catalyst promises to slash diesel emissions
Panasonic catalyst promises to slash diesel emissions Tom Young, BusinessGreen , Wednesday 23 June 2010 at 09:29:00 Alkali catalyst purifies particulate matter from dirty diesel engines while improving fuel efficiency Panasonic said yesterday that it has begun shipping samples of a catalyst that will reduce emissions from diesel engines. The metal-based alkali catalyst works by […]
Are there other types of rocket engines to use in space travel?
Like something similiar to warp drive, ion propulsion, or some other exotic form of motion producing device to push our space ships through space.

Are nuclear-powered ion drive engines worth using in outer space?
A few years back,Nasa considered sending such a probe to Jupiter.It would have been called JIMO(Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter).It would have been powered an ion drive.With a Fission Reactor as well, It would have done a lot more good science due to the extra fuel onboard. How about a fusion-ion drive even. What would be […]
When will an m2p2 (mini-magnetosheric plazma propulsion)drive go to prototype?
This propulsion system is obviously superior to ion drive, but is there a propulsion system superior to m2p2 (hypothetical, theoretical, or other)?
Using heavier gas for ion engines?
Am I wrong in thinking that an ion engine would have more thrust and therefor go faster if they used heavier gases?
