Abstract: A propulsion system for creating a propulsive force has a combustion chamber, a pair of electrodes within the combustion chamber and a power supply attached to the electrodes to create a high voltage field within an initiation zone of the combustion chamber, and an injector for introducing a propellant, preferably in atomized form, into the high voltage field for creating the propulsive force. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the propellant is hydrogen peroxide. In another embodiment of the present invention, a second propellant is introduced into the combustion chamber for increasing the propulsive force.

Abstract: An ion drive system for creating a propulsion force or thrust has at least one stage having an emitter and an attractor spaced from the emitter by a gap. An ionizable dielectric media is located within the gap. The drive system further has a propellant source for introducing a propellant in the vicinity of the emitter and a power source for creating a high intensity field in the vicinity of the emitter to ionize the dielectric media and a diffused field in the vicinity of the attractor to accelerate the ions away from the emitter and thereby create a propulsive force. In a preferred embodiment, the ion drive system has a plurality of stages.

Abstract: A rocket engine includes a thrust chamber having a cooling channel, which is adapted to provide sustained cracking conditions for a fluid (e.g., kerosene) within the cooling channel under steady-state engine operating conditions. An augmenter having a fluid input communicates with an output of the cooling channel, and an output of the augmenter is in fluid communication with a turbine. A pump is mechanically coupled to the turbine, and provides fluid flow to the inlet of the cooling channel.
