An ion thruster, ion drive, or ion engine is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. An ion thruster creates a cloud of positive ions from a neutral gas by ionizing it to …

An ion pulse was a type of warhead. An ion pulse was installed on Naboo, following the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet in 32 BBY. It disabled any threat that was outside the …

Ion missiles, with some varieties called ion pulse missiles, were warheads designed to disable craft in a similar way to Ion cannons or Conner nets. More comprehensive in their effect than …

2024年11月2日 · Dawn's futuristic, hyper-efficient ion propulsion system allows Dawn to go into orbit around two different solar system bodies, a first for any spacecraft. Meeting the ambitious …

2024年9月17日 · However, it is not only laser pulses that provide answers to unsolved questions in physics, but also ion pulses: a new method has now been used to generate extremely short, …

Ion thrusters are being designed for a wide variety of missions—from keeping communications satellites in the proper position (station-keeping) to pro-pelling spacecraft throughout our solar …

The ion pulse cannon was a massive experimental ion cannon model fitted onto the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence. Rather than targeting a specific enemy vessel, the ion pulse …

2024年9月17日 · However, it is not only laser pulses that provide answers to unsolved questions in physics, but also ion pulses: a new method has now been used to generate extremely short, …

2019年5月8日 · In this paper, we propose a concept to generate ultrashort ion pulses via femtosecond photoionization of rare gas atoms entrained in a supersonic jet, combined with …

Ion Pulse Drive. The Ion Pulse Drive is actually a type of ion propulsion engine, or ion thruster. I've see the ion engine work in video as a simple science project, a light tethered object …
