What else can I help you with?
Can plasma be used as a fuel for space craft?
No. It is difficult and impractical to store anything as plasma. Some spacecraft use ion thrusters, which propel themselves with a jet of plasma, but the propellant is stored as ordinary gas or liquid.
What are ten examples of man-made plasma?
Fluorescent light bulbs Plasma TV displays Plasma cutting machines Plasma arc welding equipment Fusion reactors Magnetohydrodynamic generators Ion thrusters in spacecraft Plasma sterilization technology Plasma torches for material processing Plasma medicine for wound healing
What is plasmagnetics?
Plasmagnetics is the study and application of plasma in electromagnetic systems. It involves the interaction of plasma, a state of matter consisting of ionized gas, with electromagnetic fields. Plasmagnetics research is focused on developing technologies such as plasma thrusters, plasma lamps, and plasma antennas.
What is a plasma thruster or a plasma thruster engine and how does it work?
A plasma thruster is any thruster that uses plasma to provide thrust, hence the name. They are usually used on spacecrafts to push the craft into the right orbit. Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is VERY hot and can be pressurized and can be controlled easily using electrodes and electromagnets. So, it's pretty useful for thrusters. The gas that will be turned into a plasma goes into a chamber. The gas is then turned into plasma by either direct current, radio waves or microwaves. Plasma can also be made by heat, but it would have to be really hot and would be very inefficient. The plasma is then contained by electromagnets. The plasma is sometimes heated even further to be more pressurized and provide more thrust. Then the plasma is made to shoot out in a steadyoutwardway by using electrodes or magnets. And, that's how plasma thrusters work.
Can plasma travel thourgh a circuit?
Plasma does not typically flow through solid-conductor circuits like electricity; however, it can be contained and manipulated by magnetic fields within devices like plasma speakers, thrusters, or experiments in fusion research. Such applications require specialized equipment and are distinct from conventional electrical circuits.
How do you raise the height of the space station without the shuttle?
The International Space Station is raised using thrusters on board or by visiting spacecraft. These thrusters propel the station to higher orbits by changing its speed and altitude. Additionally, the station can also be raised by docked spacecraft applying thrust in the opposite direction of the station's movement to gradually increase its altitude.
How many engines does the tantive iv have?
The Tantive IV (IV being 4 in Roman numerals) has 11 engines in totalThe escape pods released from the underside of the hull have 4 small thrusters to propel them to the nearest planet
What speed do plasma molecules move?
Very fast.
What are fast-moving gasses that can travel in space?
plasma
What gas does a rocket ionize while moving up towards space to thrust its speed?
Ion thrusters, which are used by rockets and spacecrafts, use inert gasses to propel them upwards. Most thrusters use xenon gas, but other gases are sometimes used as well, including krypton and argon.Please see the related link for more detailed information regarding ion propulsion.
How many thrusters are there on a spaceship?
The number of thrusters on a spaceship can vary depending on the size and type of the spacecraft. Typically, a spaceship may have multiple thrusters, including main propulsion engines for large maneuvers and smaller thrusters for fine control and adjustments in orientation. Some spacecraft may have dozens of thrusters for different purposes.
How much wind does a jet engine produce?
Enough to propel the aircraft very fast through the air.
