  • Propulsion system and method using a combustion chamber discharging a concentrated mass
    Patent number: 8789795
    Abstract: A propulsion system and method are described configured to exert a force upon a vehicle. The system includes a concentrated mass which may be discharged from the vehicle by a propellant typically via an ejection tube. The system is optimized so that the discharged concentrated-mass imparts a large impulse upon the vehicle. The system and method may be used to alter the momentum of vehicles for propulsion, attitude correction, vehicle separation and the like.
