Quote: Speaking of which, I have for a long time been thinking about how to make an electricity-only space engine, such that nothing except energy is lost to create propulsion. A system that for instance heats water with electricity to create steam wouldn't work because if you run out of water you are just as stranded as if you ran out of electricity. Any thoughts? You gotta throw something behind you in order to move forward. I suppose that thing could be electrons, but they are so incredibly light (9.1*10^-31 kg) it would probably not be feasible. Quote: How does it work in vacuum?
Quote: Actually, you have to ionise something, so you would carry a bottle full of gas with you. But this does make no sense, just take a bottle with a gas under high pressure and open it - it would be the same effect. What he said, except it does makes sense. You take some inert gas, ionize it and accelerate very small amounts of it to very high speeds. You get a very high specific impulse, and you need very little reaction mass. The force generated is extremely small however.

Concerning how the ion drives work in space: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/dawn/news/dawn-20071009.html said: Dawn's ion engines are extremely frugal powerhouses. The 27 hours of thrusting from the ion engine resulted in the consumption of less than .28 kilograms (10 ounces) of the spacecraft's xenon fuel supply -- less than the contents of a can of soda. Dawn's fuel tank carries 425 kilograms (937 pounds) of xenon propellant. Over their lifetime, Dawn's three ion propulsion engines will fire cumulatively for about 50,000 hours (over five years) -- a record for spacecraft.
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/071011-dawn-engineupdate.html said: The ion engines were tested at five different throttle levels and performed "flawlessly" according to Jon Brophy, the Dawn project's ion propulsion manager at JPL, in an official statement. Charged ion particles shoot out of the engines at 90,000 miles per hour (144,840 kph) to slowly accelerate the spacecraft over time.

@FrankyR Im planing to take it a step further. I propose to make the ship one big ion (its really may ions) an ion field. then ill charge the space behind the field wit will move the ship. edit: i am also planing a defense system using the same system witch would litarly rip its target in half wow |

Space = vacuum = nothing to charge? But yeah, you will do what NASA is doing for years and needed millions and lots of people what you are going to do better in a fraction of the time. Where is your free energy maker? In capitalist America bank robs you. |

Nasa is no the center of the world people that go to fanncey school are not the only ones with brains. further education is 10% learning and 90% showing what you already know. wow |

Agreed. Now, show us your free energy maker. That should make you eligible for NASA. Its not the center of the world, but it sure has lots of MONEY! In capitalist America bank robs you. |

To tell you the truth i would never want to work for nasa or for any one. But this place is to full of liers scamers and they don't have any type of honor or . wow |
