DEMON quantum mehanical (H/C)/propulsion system

Abstract

This device, the (‘Demon’ Quantum Mechanical, (H/C)/(Propulsion) system), replaces entirely, the (antiquated system of using Cryogens for cooling, in satellite applications). This device, is the ONLY application, which uses (Quantum Mechanics) for Propulsion/Thrusting. This device is the ONLY design to use (Quantum Mechanics) to (simultaneously Heat and Cool) in any application. This device is the ONLY design to use (Quantum Mechanics) to (simultaneously Heat and Cool) and for (Propulsion) in any application, —and due to the system (operating methods) and (weightless environment), —with EXPONENTIALLY greater (fuel) efficiency. This device (extends the (working service life) of Satellites requiring cooling) from MONTHS, to 50+ YEARS/more.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The (‘Demon’ Quantum Mechanical (Heating/Cooling) and (Propulsion) System) has 4 MAIN COMPONENTS, —(Gas Generator), (H/C Unit (w/separated H/C sides)), (H/C Magnetic traps/lasers), ((Control valve)—which regulates the vacuum, exhaust, gas charging of the system, and vacuum charging/purging of the system, temperature of the system, gas mixture of the system.

[0012] (Part 1—(Gas Generator)—uses a laser, to burn (¼-½″ microns thin layers) of (rubidium compound paste solid compound), thereby creating (rubidium gas), that (rubidium gas) is (drawn by the vacuum in the system), into : the magnetic traps in (Part 2—the H/C Unit), and held there by electromagnetism. (Hot trap on one side/Cold trap on the other). Access to the (Gas Generator) is closed by the (control valve). The separate, (Hot) and (Cold) magnetic traps, (via a combination of lasers/and (operation of the magnetic traps to cool or heat respectively the H and C rubidium gases), simultaneously heat and cool the gases. (The HEAT created/(and partially the hot gases created) circulated freely (via ducting built into the unit/and satellite) to the (electronics section of the Satellite to keep it at (room temperature) to protect the electronics, and within the (double-walled construction, gas passageways surrounding the entire satellite). The COLD created//(and partially the hot gases created), circulate freely via ducting built into the unit/and satellite, to the (IR Detector/other (Part) housing), thereby providing cooling/super cooling) to the IR Detectors/other, as required.

[0013] To (Purge the system/recharge the Vacuum in the system), and-or to (thrust/propel the satellite for station-keeping), (For Propulsion—the (H and C exhaust valves are opened by the (control valve)), and the (H and C exhaust gases) are fed via (separate exhaust lines) to the (combustion chamber), where they (ignite), causing exhaust to flow out the thruster cup , creating thrust, thereby creating propulsion). (For Purging of the system/recharging of the vacuum) ONLY: —the (H Exh Bypass valve) is opened by the (control valve), and the hot gases flow out the vented thrust cup (without igniting)—(Note: in this (standard design), (H exhaust gases are fed out a purge valve, and or out a (cantilevered thrust cup) to negate any thrust created by the mixing of the H gases and the cold of Space), . . . and the (C Exh gases) are fed directly into the (combustion chamber/out the cup), —again, (without igniting), —as there is no mixture of (super-heated/super-cooled) gases.

[0014] Note: When used for (Propulsion), the (control valve), 1st (closes the back flow path to the fuel source/rubidium), then 2nd (opens the exhaust to the combustion chamber on both H and C sides), and 3rd (the exhaust gases flow to the combustion chamber), are mixed, (ignite due to temperature differential of the exhaust gases), the combusted gases flow out the cup, thereby creating thrust. Thereby creating propulsion The LEVEL OF PROPULSION ATTAINABLE IS LIMITED ONLY BY THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL OF THE EXHAUST GASES.

One Complete Cycle of this System is as Follows

Begin

All in Order as They Appear

[0015] 1. The (Hot Bypass to Thrust cup), (H Purge/Charge valve), (C Exhaust valve), (Access to all gas passageways/ducting) are opened. The (H Bypass to Thrust cup) is closed. The (C Exhaust valve) is closed. THE SYSTEM IS NOW “CHARGED” WITH A VACUUM.

[0016] 2. The (Gas Generator) creates (fuel/coolant/rubidium gas). The (H and C Magnetic traps) power up. The (rubidium gas) is drawn by the vacuum, into the (magnetic traps) where is it held in place by electromagnetism. The (lasers in the magnetic traps(H and C)) turn on, —whereby the (H side is heated) and (C side is chilled). Access to the (components) —(Electronics, H), (IR Detectors, for example, C). The HEAT created/(and partially the gases) flow freely around the (gas passageways (in the ‘Demon’ (H/C) Unit), and in the Satellite (via thermal double wall construction passageways/and-or ducting)), and thus (H or C to those areas required).

[0017] 3. When ready to (create station-keeping thrust/other (Standard Propulsion), —(the access to the ducting/gas passageways), and (to the (H and C Satellite Components) are closed (thereby protecting the (electronics/IR Detectors)/and shutting off (vacuum pressure/possible backflow of temp changes to those areas). The (H and C Exhaust valves) are opened, (the H and C gases flow to the (combustion chamber) where (they ignite) due to (temperature differential) and (heated rubidium gas particles). The combusted gases flow out the Thruster cup, thereby creating thrust, thereby creating propulsion. When (vacuum pressure in the system is equalized to ambient (space) vacuum pressure)/all combustion has occurred, —(access to all passageways (except (H and C Satellite Components (electronics/IR Detectors), —are opened, —the system (purges itself/re-charges the vacuum), —the (H and C Exhaust valves) are closed, THE SYSTEM IS NOW RE-CHARGED WITH A VACUUM.
