Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

We built them at MIT when I was a grad student (mini ones).


Sweet! How big were they and what was the power supply?

(Didn't mean to sound like I was dissing your efforts, just knew that HETs were commercialized in the late 90s from Russki tech, so...)

Power supply was the Boston power grid (supplement by some huge ass capacitors). How big? Only a dozen N thrust or so.

Well, that's nothing to sneeze at. It's probably the most powerful electric propulsion engine by thrust ever built in the US.

Do you remember the ISP?

Inflate your Upload Space

quote:
Why do you assume that?


If these fields were compressible in phase space, that would lead to particles piling up continually at points in the plasma (since the divergence of a vector field at a point is the limit as a volume encompassing that point, V, goes to 0 of 1 of 1/V * the flux of the field through the boundary of V). And that's not a physical situation.
