Research Abstract |
Fuel cost using electric propulsion is better (specific impulse is higher) than chemical one. The contact erosion between a plasma and electrodes, producing and accelerating the plasma, leads to a lifetime shortage. To overcome this, our study had "electrodeless" conditions. Helicon sources have been developed and characterized: The largest (smallest) diameter of 74 (0.3) cm was achieved, and the scalings of the production efficiency have been established. Roles of a helicon and a TG waves were examined. We have proposed many acceleration schemes: A helicon source alone showed the maximum specific impulse of 3,000 s and the maximum ratio of thrust to power of 16 mN/kW. The excited magnetic field penetration and the ion velocity increase were found in the RMF scheme. Methods such as REF and PA/ICR were also advanced. We have developed the two-dimensional measurement systems using laser induced fluorescence and high-resolution spectroscopy, and the various types of the thrust stands.
