Electromagnetic Propulsion Aero-Engine Design Based on Ampere Theorem

Abstract:

This paper means to provide an innovative design of aero-engine after investigating existing aero-engines. It is a late model power plant design which is based on the watercraft electromagnetic propulsion technology and the theory that in electromagnetic field magnetic field generates Ampere force to current flow and in combination with specific structures of aero-engines. The design principle of this engine is that when the air working medium with high conductivity goes through an arc generator, it will ionize and produce plasma, which actions in the magnetic field that produced by built-in superconducting magnetic and generates forward push. This design will provide a theoretical reserve for future development of aero-engines and has potential market prospects.
