2. Ion District - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_District

   TXRX Labs operates the 6,500 square foot Ion Prototyping Lab (IPL), which provides equipment, engineering and technical support, and training to member entrepreneurs and startups. Equipment includes 3D printers, laser cutters, lathes, CNC mills, and other manufacturing tools.

3. Ion thruster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster

   The 2.3 kW NSTAR ion thruster developed by NASA for the Deep Space 1 spacecraft during a hot fire test at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (1999) NEXIS ion engine test (2005) A prototype of a xenon ion engine being tested at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (2005) An ion thruster, ion drive, or ion engine is a form of electric propulsion used for ...

4. NEXT (ion thruster) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEXT_(ion_thruster)

   The NEXT thruster has demonstrated, in ground tests, a total impulse of 17 MN·s; which as of 2010 was the highest total impulse ever demonstrated by an ion thruster. [2] A beam extraction area 1.6 times that of NSTAR allows higher thruster input power while maintaining low voltages and ion current densities, thus maintaining thruster longevity.

5. Fermilab - Wikipedia

   The laboratory's first director was Robert Rathbun Wilson, under whom the laboratory opened ahead of time and under budget. Many of the sculptures on the site are of his creation. He is the namesake of the site's high-rise laboratory building, whose unique shape has become the symbol for Fermilab and which is the center of activity on the campus.

6. Helicon double-layer thruster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicon_double-layer_thruster

   Like most ion propulsion devices, the HDLT is a low-thrust, high–specific-impulse (high-I sp) thruster. A prototype 15 cm diameter thruster, operated in low-magnetic-field mode, underwent initial thrust testing in 2010, however, a more complete testing method would be necessary to properly calculate the total thrust.

7. Ion beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_beam

   A small ion beam rocket being tested by NASA. An ion beam is a beam of ions, a type of charged particle beam. Ion beams have many uses in electronics manufacturing (principally ion implantation) and other industries. There are many ion beam sources, some derived from the mercury vapor thrusters developed by NASA in the 1960s. The most widely ...
