Alpha Centauri Beckons

Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) is the very latest in advanced space propulsion. Using solid state components it is expected to give about 1.5 to 2 times the power over other current in-space propulsion systems.. The ECR will require less maintenance because it doesn't use electrodes (which wear out during operation) to generate electron resonance plasma. The extra performance comes from the facts of science that electron resonance has a higher energy state with which to eject plasma particles through the engine nozzle. In ECR propulsions ions are ejected more axially imparting more thrust. Specific Impulse (Isp) is about 5,000 sec. with the potential to go to 10,000 seconds which gives about 50,000 m/s to about 100,000 m/s exit velocity. The ECR was developed from the Gas Dynamic Mirror propulsive device which conceptually can generate fusion propulsion when materials and technologies, such as improved heat-to-electricity, are advanced to support fusion. When such technologies and materials are so advanced, the ECR can be configured to generate fusion. This will open up the entire solar system to manned travel. It could even make manned travel beyond our solar system a possibility! Alpha Centauri Beckons!

Those are habitats & fuel tanks. ;-)

Terrific presentation. Many thanks.

@Minagaur the video is yours after all, 1138thz you're actually flattering me, you forgot the Cyrillic alphabet. Rakiya is Turkish at least by the name, well, ALL countries rise and fall...

[Minagaur]

Ok didn't mean any offense ppl

@Minagaur

Chinese, American, Russian who knows; but it wont be Bulgarian that's for damn sure! And, what's up with your national inferiority complex? Does it really hurt that bad to be you? Maybe when the USA & Russia send the first ship to another star we'll take some quaint Bulgarian folk music along...what else do you have to offer except a nice before dinner spirit like Rakiya. Bulgaria's ultimate contribution to mankind.

Thanks for posting this. Outstanding presentation!

@Minagaur Aww, this got me excited..

Oh well, I hope someday we can then. :P

[Minagaur]

@SailsTheFox96 NO, we can't ;)

[SailsTheFox96]

We can visit other star systems now?? O_O?
