- Fire and rockets are somewhat synonymous to each other. What if we told you they aren’t? In this video, we talk about a specific type of rocket which uses electricity for propulsion. These electric propulsion systems are capable of running continuously for a very long time; one such system ran for more than a year without any hitches.

Just another reason to become an electrical engineer
Nice video I only have one question how much xenon do they need to carry to run for months.
You can calculate the time based on the flowrate with which you want to inject gas inside the discharge chamber.
Nice explanation
a nuclear reactor powering these engines in space sounds like a very very possible future
New thing learned!!!!
Thanks
Thank you so much
Another challange for electric propulsion system is to produce ions with minimum discharge power.This term is often called as discharge loss (Cost of producing 1 ion).Typically NSTAR,NEXIS thruster had discharge losses ranging from 150-200ev per ion.One may say that the ionization potential of gas like Xe is around 15 V but electrons entering the discharge chamber also excite the gas to a higher energy state and loose their energy thus further increasing the discharge losses in the range of 150-200 eV/ion.As the thruster moves away from the sun the light available to produce power reduces thus making it necessary to make the thruster system as much as efficient as possible.
Maybe using nuclear reactors (fission or fusion?) could solve that
will xenon run out?
what if they focus all the electrons from the channels into one point would that make it go faster?
I would believe that spreading the thrust would be a better Idea so it be more efficient, kind of like how a flashlight is better at lighting up a room than a laser
Electrons wont give sufficient thrust!
Strongest rocket is falcon heavy. Or am i wrong?
I did bachelor's in instrumentation and control engineering and now I'm planning to do the masters in this Course hybrid electrical propulsion technology, can you give me a suggestion about this course, 🥺

Falcon heavy, update
Imagine theres like a neutron star type dense material placed into the propulsion would the thrust be crazy?
Romulin space engine?
help conf now now
False, the Soyuz Rockets are the most powerful.
