Research Abstract |
'Tractor beam' thrust is defined in laser ablation propulsion as generating a thrust in the direction toward a laser device. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique, a torsion-type impulse stand with a high accuracy was designed and manufactured. Using this, the generation of a tractor beam thrust was demonstrated both in the atmosphere and in vacuum.
