ELECTRIC PROPULSION PROCESS AND AUTONOMOUS AIRCRAFT WITH ELECTRIC PROPULSION

摘要

The invention relates to an electric propulsion process and to an autonomous aircraft with electric propulsion, applicable in the aeronautical field in gaseous atmospheres and being able to fly in cosmic space, as well. The claimed process involves the occurrence of concentric dynamic forces of recombination of positive ions with negative charges in the area opposite to the direction of travel, creating in this area a high pressure range Pdue to the transformation of kinetic energy of aerodynamic forces Finto potential energy and the generating a resultant force Fcapable of ensuring the lift and displacement of an aircraft. The claimed aircraft is composed of a body (1) having a discoidal shape, on which there are mounted some polar plates (2) and some variable ionizers (3), which have a control center (5) and are charged with different potentials and intensities in order to form an electrostatic field and a preferential ionization direction for travel, a power source (4) which supplies a field generator (6) and a complementary generator (7) connected to the polar plates (2) and ionizers (3), an ionization source (8) serving an additional ion-propelled engine (9) to be used outside the Earth's atmosphere, a source (10) of the ionic engine (9) and an electronic probe to dissociate an additional number of atoms in the atmosphere in positively charged ions and electrons which are collected by the probe and pass through an electron multiplier device (11).
