摘要 | This invention is a device(s) that will utilize the power of photons to transfer their energy to electrons in turn transferring their energy to another object of mass that the casing(s) of the drive will be connected to by bombarding a wall of a negative electric field. This energy will then be transferred to the object this device(s) is connected to causing it to move in the same direction of the flow of the electrons. In theory the device(s) should cause movement up to ⅓ the speed of light. This will aid NASA any others that need or want to travel the solar system(s) in a more reasonable time frame. The fundamental principal behind the propulsion is the same as the solar sail. When high energy particles hit something, some of their energy is transferred to that object, and when the electrons are hit by photons of high energy, the photons energy is transferred to the electron and then in turn when the electron's energy is then transferred to the wall it hits and whatever it's connected to. I do suggest, though, that this drive be used in outer space and be lifted first from the earth via some other propulsion like a rocket. I do not feel currently it can produce enough “net force” to break away from earth's gravity on it's own. | ||||||

说明书全文 | Non-applicable Non-applicable Non-applicable Non-applicable This device will use a gamma ray laser(s) aimed at free electrons expelling from electron guns (or/and any other device(s) or system(s) that emits free electrons) and propelled into a concave wall producing a negative electric field. The energy transfers from the electrons to the atoms will produce high speeds possibly close to the speed of light. In order for us to better achieve exploration of our solar system, we must first get to higher speeds. Only then will we are able to do a more detailed surveying of the planets around us. This invention is an engine using a gamma-ray laser aimed at electrons that will be coming from an electron gun(s) (or/and any other device(s) or system(s) that emits free electrons). The electrons being pushed using Compton's effect will transfer their energy to the electron, propelling the electron down a small distance inside a chamber into a concave shaped wall connected to a device(s) that will produce a negative electric field on the wall. Due to the photoelectric effect, electrons, when hitting the gamma rays will spin in a coil and the angle of their coil will be based on where the gamma ray hit on the electron. The gamma-ray laser(s) and electron gun(s) (or/and any other device(s) that emits free electrons), will have to be positioned to allow the electron's coiling to spin into the direction of the negative electric field to transfer the energy they received from the gamma-rays. The electrons will transfer their energy into the negative electric field and into whatever the drive is connected too thereof. Bare in mind, there can be many lasers as in |
