Constant acceleration spacetime continuum propulsion device for interplanetary and interstellar travel. Deep space exploration might finally be within our reach. Patent US-11,724,831-B2
✧We assert the Universe is infinite and eternal. The "Big Bang" has never happened and most certainly did not create the Universe. ✧Spacetime Continuum, a.k.a. dark matter / dark energy, with viscoelastic properties, distributed mass and variable density that permeates the entire Universe, makes up about 96% of its mass and energy. All the galaxies, stars, planets and all other baryonic matter make up just about 4 percent of the Universe. ✧The last but not least, Einstein's Theory of Relativity is not the ultimate truth, it is just one of the theories. Partially correct, partially not.
In order for a spacecraft to move, it needs two things: reaction mass and energy. In accordance with the conservation of momentum law, for a propulsion method to change momentum of a spacecraft, it must change momentum of a reaction mass. In a conventional chemical propulsion rocket, the fuel is burned, providing the energy, and the reaction products are ejected out of a propulsion device. Momentum is given to the exhaust gases in one direction so the rocket itself gains momentum in the other direction The created thrust force causes acceleration of the spacecraft. Since the dawn of the space age, chemical propulsion technology is used to launch spacecraft to the outer space. Less than 5% of a rocket’s starting mass reaches orbit. Over 95% of the mass at takeoff is the fuel required to get there, the tanks and pumps. When the spacecraft runs out of fuel its acceleration is no longer possible. Since the dawn of the space age, chemical propulsion technology is used to launch spacecraft to the outer space. Less than 5% of a rocket’s starting mass reaches orbit. Over 95% of the mass at takeoff is the fuel required to get there, the fuel tanks and pumps. Each chemical propulsion launch vehicle reaches its final speed, which is determined by a specific impulse of its fuel. The specific impulse is numerically equal to the outflow rate and is proportional to the quantity of fuel onboard. Spacecraft's orbital maneuverability is severely restricted by a very limited quantity of fuel potentially available onboard after reaching the orbit. Spacecraft's orbital maneuverability is currently achieved by: • Cold gas thrusters • Chemical propulsion engines • Electric thrusters Cold gas thrusters and chemical propulsion engines require substantial amount of fuel or gas onboard for any meaningful orbital maneuvers. Furthermore, it has to be periodically replenished in order to sustain the spacecraft’s orbital lifespan and maneuverability. Electrical thrusters while spending much lower amounts of reaction material, create a very low thrust. Any orbital maneuver would take a prohibitive amount of time in fast-changing operational environment. The reaction material quantity onboard is still finite. To increase a spacecraft's specific impulse, it is necessary to either replenish the conventional propellant / reaction material while in flight through the space, or find another working medium that can be used by spacecraft's propulsion system. Our team's invention of electromagnetic propulsion system, Astrodrive, U.S. Patent 11,724,831B2, using spacetime continuum as fuel, and therefore with unlimited fuel reserves and specific impulse, is about to drastically change the spacefaring. Several prototypes have been successfully tested, and have demonstrated very promising results in line with the theoretical predictions. Deep Space travel requires a sufficient, long-lasting power source. Direct Energy Conversion Open-Architecture Nuclear Fusion Reactor (FUREA), currently under development by our team, is one of the possible power sources. Our technological innovations will take humanity to the stars.
