This video shows plasma glowing purplish blue as it is being created in Reisz Engineer's Super-Accelerated Electromagnetic Engine for Space Exploration. This thruster engine is currently being tested at MSFC NASA. The energy created this technology can be used as a way to power deep space missions to Mars and beyond.

ECR Plasma Thruster

  • RF Power Input via Electron-Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) for plasma generation and thrust TRR conducted (Sept. ’06)
  • 10 GHz RF Source (klystron) set up and tested (Sept. – Oct. ’06)

  • Plasma Generator / Thruster assembled and mounted on 9-ft vacuum chamber (Oct. ’06)

  • Preliminary Tests resulted in klystron failures (Oct, - Nov. ’06)

  • System rebuilt with 33 Turn coils to increase B field with increased cooling and new RF components (Nov. ’06 – Jan. ’07)

The current project for Reisz Engineers is the Super-Accelerated Electromagnetic Engine for Space Exploration at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The Electric Thruster is super accelerated by an electro-magnetic accelerator.





Reisz Engineers successfully engineered the design and development of the Super-Accelerated Electromagnetic Engine, including fabrication and machining. This involved engineering the electrical and mechanical systems for industrial usage.

This is the Super-Accelerated Electromagnetic Engine apparatus attached to the vacuum chamber. The far right photo is the Klystron.



Electromagnetic Accelerator

The electromagnetic accelerator speeds up the particles.



    

The Engine, shown with the viewing window, is added to the waveguide and magnetic coils.



    

The Super-Accelerated Electromagnetic Engine for Space Exploration uses flaming plasma as an energy source. Through the window, a lavender glow can be seen when plasma is flaming in the chamber. This engine can power distant planet exploration.
