A liquid propulsion panorama

Acta Astronautica, 2009
Abstract Liquid-propellant rocket engines are widely used all over the world, thanks to their high performances, in particular high thrust-to-weight ratio. The present paper presents a general panorama of liquid propulsion as a contribution of the IAF Advanced Propulsion Prospective Group.

Chemical Propulsion Using Ionic Liquids

Langmuir, 2013
Chemical propulsion generates motion by directly converting locally stored chemical energy into mechanical energy. Here, we describe chemically driven autonomous motion generated by using imidazolium-based ionic liquids on a water surface. From measurements of the driving force of a locomotor loaded with an ionic liquid and observations of convection ...

Self-propulsion on liquid surfaces

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2014
Abstract Surface tension gradients are at the origin of the self-motion and deformation of millimeter-sized floating objects. For (quasi-)non-deformable systems, like solids and gels, the motion-mode is mainly controlled by the shape of the object and by the way the surface active propellant is released on the surrounding surface.

Liquid resistance in underwater laser propulsion

Applied Optics
To investigate liquid resistance in underwater laser propulsion, we conducted underwater propulsion experiments with cylindrical titanium targets of identical mass but varying propulsion areas through high-speed photography. An analytical formula was derived to elucidate the relationship among the kinetic energy of the target, the energy of the bubble ...
