Bioelectrochemical Propulsion

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2005
A carbon fiber having a terminal glucose oxidizing microanode and an O2 reducing microcathode is propelled at the water-O2 interface. The electron current in the fiber is accompanied by a flux of hydrated protons that is so fast at the solution-air interface, where the viscous drag is small, that the fiber's velocity is 1 cm s-1.

Propulsion Integration for a Hybrid Propulsive-Lift System

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1974
In a discussion of STOL vehicles with conventional high-lift devices, the need for efficient power-augmented lift systems is presented, and the implications of quiet operation are noted. The underlying philosophy of a promising hybrid lift system with major interactions between aerodynamic, thermodynamic, acoustic, and configuration design technologies
