Evaluation of an Impulse Gravity Generator Based Beamed Propulsion Concept [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 This paper analyzes the suitability of a beamed propulsion concept having properties consistent with the impulse gravity generator described by Podkletnov et al. [physics/0108005]. The use of this propulsion concept for orbital maneuver, Earth-to-orbit, interplanetary, and interstellar applications based on presently available experimental results and ...

Chiral propulsion by electromagnetic fields [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We consider the propulsion of micron-scale chiral objects by electromagnetic fields in fluids - a problem with broad applications in microfluidics, pharmaceutics, and biomedicine. Because of the small size of the moving objects, the propulsion can be described by the Stokes equation possessing the time-reversal invariance.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Characterizations of the expanse of processes parameter combinations that can be used to minimize cracking and porosity while optimizing crystallization and hardness are used to assess laser processing of four glass‐forming alloys. The set of viable alloys for laser additive manufacturing is not the same as for suction casting; some alloys are common ...

Modeling thermocapillary microgear rotation and transfer to translational particle propulsion [PDF]
In this study, we investigate the thermocapillary rotation of microgears at fluid interfaces and extend the concept of geometric asymmetry to the translational propulsion of micron-sized particles. We introduce a transient numerical model that couples the Navier-Stokes equations with heat transfer, displaying particle motion through a moving mesh ...

, 2023 Nuclear propulsion utilizes nuclear reactions to produce energy, which is then used to propel a vehicle. There are three main forms of nuclear propulsion: naval nuclear propulsion, aero-nuclear propulsion, and space nuclear propulsion. Naval nuclear propulsion involves the use of nuclear reactors to power ships.
