MIT researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board ...
An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid – generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal for small ...
Shoe box-sized CubeSats are becoming increasingly important in space exploration and collecting scientific data.
[Camden Bowen] recently 3D printed a single-piston engine which nearly worked, and is back with some improvements to it thanks to a small carburetor. The carburetor itself isn’t 3D printed ...
This arrangement leads to a few complicated welding and machining processes, but surprisingly these obstacles can be overcome by simply printing a rocket engine on a 3D printer. The current engine ...
Beehive Industries, a company that 3D prints jet engines for unmanned military vehicles, will ramp up production at its ...
