| The present disclosure relates to a launch system, a launch vehicle for use with the launch system, and methods of launching a payload utilizing the launch vehicle and/or the launch system. The disclosure can provide for delivery of the payload at a terrestrial location, an Earth orbital location, or an extraorbital location. The launch vehicle can comprise a payload, a propellant tank, an electrical heater wherein propellant, such as a light gas (e.g., hydrogen) is electrically heated to significantly high temperatures, an exhaust nozzle from which the heated propellant expands to provide an exhaust velocity of, for example, 7-16 km/sec, and sliding electrical contacts in electrical connection with the electrical heater. The launch vehicle can be utilized with the launch system, which can further comprise a launch tube formed of concentric electrically conductive tubes, as well as an electrical energy source, such as a battery bank and associated inductor. | ||||||

| A projectile propulsion system includes a launch tube, multiphase material, and a membrane. The launch tube has an interior cavity, the multiphase material disposed therein. The launch tube also has an opening to receive the multiphase material. The membrane seals the opening while the multiphase material is disposed in the interior cavity of the launch tube so as to allow the launch tube to be pressurized. When the membrane is broken, a supersonic wave thrusts the contents of the interior cavity, such as a projectile, outwards with a high velocity and force. | ||||||

| 107 | Electronically controlled fire-arm using liquid propellant | EP01204189.3 | 2001-11-02 | EP1219914A3 | 2003-05-07 | Barattieri di San Pietro, Simone |
Firearm similar to a rifle, of innovative conception. It uses projectiles without casings, and explosive liquid. The sequence of all the operations is governed electronically by a microprocessor, an electric motor turns the cylinder, a pressurised tank feeds the firing chamber and a sparking plug ignites the explosive. The firearm is very simple, it does not require complex mechanical parts, it is completely sealed and after use it is not used again (disposable) in that the remaining parts are of very little value. It can be made very easily, but only by those who are knowledgeable in electronics. It has sufficient firing autonomy and may be seen above all as a self-launching magazine. |

| 108 | CANNON FOR AXIALLY FED ROUNDS WITH BREECHED ROUND SEALING BREECH CHAMBER | EP97945665 | 1997-10-23 | EP0932806A4 | 2000-11-22 | METAL STORM LIMITED |
| A projectile firing weapon (10) for firing artillery rounds (30) from a barrel assembly (11) utilises rounds having a projectile (31) and an associated bore seal (32) which is radially expanded by relative axial displacement between the projectile and the bore seal. The barrel assembly (11) provides a barrel bore (13), a barrel chamber (14) for the round to be fired and an associated breech chamber (15) for the next round to be fired. A propellant chamber (17) is formed between the barrel chamber (14) and the breech chamber (15). The breeched round (30) provides the closure for the barrel chamber (14) and after firing is advanced into the barrel chamber (17) by the next round introduced to the breech chamber (15). Liquid propellant may be injected to the propellant chamber (17) to facilitate rapid firing. | ||||||

| 112 | Soupape pour commander l'écoulement d'un fluide sous pression au travers de la section de passage entre deux conduits d'entrée et de sortie | EP93402594.1 | 1993-10-22 | EP0596768A1 | 1994-05-11 | Begneu, Michel |
Soupape pour commander l'écoulement d'un fluide sous pression entre deux conduits d'entrée (2) et de sortie (3), comprenant un obturateur (5) qui, lorsque la soupape (1) est fermée, est en appui sur un siège (15), sous la sollicitation de la force exercée par un ressort (12) à l'encontre de celle exercée par la pression d'un fluide présent dans le conduit d'entrée (2) sur une première face (7a) de l'obturateur (5). Ce dernier comporte une seconde face (7b) sur laquelle le fluide sous pression exerce une force opposée à celle qu'il exerce sur sa première face (7a) lorsque cette soupape est fermée. Ainsi, la force de rappel du ressort (12) doit être seulement supérieure à la différence des forces précitées pour maintenir la soupape fermée. L'invention s'applique par exemple à un système d'injection d'un agent de propulsion pour une arme à propulseur liquide. |
