Improving the efficiency of multifunctional electric rocket engines

Nowadays the creation of multifunctional electric rocket engines, working on several modes, providing the required specific thrust, specific impulse and energy efficiency is of immediate interest. These parameters can be ensured at work in pulse-detonation, pulsed or pulsed and the electric mode. The process of power generation is important with this approach. Reducing electricity costs on the ionization electric discharge of the combustion products, the formation and acceleration of plasma on different modes electric propulsion requires the development of new and effective technical solutions. One solution is to increase energy efficiency in the known method of creation and the electric traction, is to form a stream of combustion of hydrocarbon, chemical, or nuclear fuel, moving at a given speed in a magnetic field induction vector which is orthogonal to the vector products of combustion rate by dividing the flow of combustion products cations beams and electron beam. The energy of the electron beam is converted into an additional electrical power is directed to the acceleration, the speed of change of the cations of the beam, which creates a reaction force proportional to the kinetic energy of the accelerated beam. Acting on the cation beam pulsed electromagnetic field with the desired operating frequency, you can create a periodic pulse detonation waves and the work of ERE in the pulse-detonation or pulse-pulsed modes. Bunches of cations of the nozzle exit can be neutralized by recovering their energy in an electrostatic electricity and electric power. The proposed method and model of the power supply system may improve efficiency, fuel economy and other consumables increases the ratio of payload range and the life of the aircraft.
