  1. Look how interesting... And an airplane engine that uses microwave-induced air plasma. Such a jet engine simply uses only air and electricity to produce high temperature and pressurized plasma for jet propulsion. Demonstrated that, with the same energy consumption, its propulsion pressure is comparable to that of conventional jet engines of fossil fuel aircraft. Therefore, this carbon-free propellant could potentially be used as a jet propellant in the atmosphere. Fig1- Schematic diagram of a prototype microwave air plasma jet thruster. A flattened waveguide was used to increase the electric field strength of air ionization inside the air ionization chamber. Fig2- Images of the microwave air plasma jet at different power settings (in a unit of W). The length, temperature, and brightness of the flame increase with an increase in the microwave power. The flame temperature can reach higher than 1000 °C , 1832°F , 1273,15 K Fig3- Schematic diagram of a simple homemade heat-resistant device for the propulsion pressure measurements, consisting of a hollow steel ball on top of the quartz tube. The device has a small hole at the top for inserting smaller steel beads in order to adjust the threshold weight at which the ball starts to rattle due to the effect of the plasma jet. (b) The device used in the experiment, the point at which the hollow steel ball began to vibrate Fig4- Threshold propulsion force at various air flow settings as a function of the microwave power (in a unit of W). Linear fits were obtained with m representing the slope and c representing the y-axis intercept. I represents the air flow rate (in a unit of m3/h). (b) Similar to (a), but with the x-axis representing the air flow rate. Fig5- Net jet pressure (excluding the contribution from the injected air but with no microwave power) at various air flow settings as a function of the microwave power (in a unit of W). Linear fits were obtained with m representing the slope and c representing the y-axis intercept. I represents the air flow rate (in a unit of m3/h). (b) Similar to (a), but with the x-axis representing the air flow rate. Link: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/5.0005814 Image for illustrative purposes only
  2. As an student environmental engineer I have to agree with you.
  3. Also known as: Radio frequency resonant cavity thruster. It is a device concept that claims to be a spacecraft propeller. It is intended to generate momentum by reflecting the microwaves internally in the device, violating the moment conservation law and other laws of physics. It was introduced in 2001 by Roger Shawyer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmDrive To give you an idea: Down ion thrusters produced almost 30 times more impulse for the same amount of electricity than the Em drive.
  4. Me too It could be something not mandatory in the settings.
  5. Here I am not talking about waiting for the next year to receive the for exemple Ovin signal, but rather short times of difference in transmission and reception of signal, over long distances.
  6. Thanks I expressed myself in the wrong forms. I was referring to transferring more data in less time.
  7. Delay between sending a signal from one location to another. Example: The signal that will be transmitted from a spaceship in another star system to Kerbin or a colony.
  8. Signal delay in comunications in ksp 2? Example: The signal that will be transmitted from a spaceship in another star system to Kerbin or a colony
  9. Wow 100 likes! Thank you all!

  11. Very, very varied means of propulsion from when you start the game up to the antimatter level. Varied colonies, different types of colonies for different locations and planets. Great music Progression slowly, I would like the progression to be time consuming so that I can make the most of each piece. Different "crazy and normal" places for me to visit.

    What would a type 6 civilization look like? What is your technology? How is society? What if their interferences were indistinguishable from natural phenomena across the universe? What if they are among us? Are they gods? ...
  13. In ksp 2 we could have space tourism? As a way to raise funds or something like this, we could use rockets, airplanes, balloons and other means to do this tourism, we could also add hotels in space for the same purpose to raise funds.
  14. 4 microsatellites, a single rocket
  15. @FreeThinkerPlanning to add more stuff to this amazing mod? Could i suggest fission fragment sails, I surveyed and found that they could be implemented alongside photon sails that would improve their efficiency in places further away from the stars
