Fluid acceleration and guidance within an electromagnetic field for firefighting applications and with space rocket exhausts

摘要

The jet of fluid (1) is passed though an outlet (3) that lies on the axis of a divergent horn (2) which is supplied with microwave energy (4) at frequencies between 0.1 MHz and 10 GHz. The fluid may be water, possibly with salt added to increase its conductivity, or may be the exhaust from rocket motors. The fluid is accelerated by inductive reaction with the microwave energy.
