X-Ray Propulsor: Physical Principle for an Electromagnetic Propellantless Propulsion System
Alexandre A. Martins
In this work we are going to develop a physical model that explains how propulsion may be developed in a vacuum by the collision of electrons with an anode. Instead of using princi…
Simulation of a wire-cylinder-plate positive corona discharge in nitrogen gas at atmospheric pressure
Alexandre A. Martins
In this work we are going to perform a simulation of a wire-cylinder-plate positive corona discharge in nitrogen gas, and compare our results with already published experimental re…
Fluidic Electrodynamics: On parallels between electromagnetic and fluidic inertia
Alexandre A. Martins
The purpose of the present work is to trace parallels between the known inertia forces in fluid dynamics with the inertia forces in electromagnetism that are known to induce resist…
Modeling of an improved positive corona thruster and actuator
Alexandre A. Martins
In this work we are going to perform a simulation of a positive corona discharge in nitrogen gas, using two different asymmetric capacitor geometries. This work represents an impro…
