    Yamato 1 on display in Kobe, Japan.The first working full-scale MHD ship. A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CO2_dragster

    Rear view of a "rail"-style dragster, with external wheels. The hollow container for the carbon dioxide cartridge can be seen towards the rear of the car. CO 2 dragsters are cars used as miniature racing cars which are propelled by a carbon dioxide cartridge, pierced to start the release of the gas, and which race on a typically 60 feet (18 ...

  5. Cold gas thruster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_gas_thruster

    A cold gas thruster (or a cold gas propulsion system) is a type of rocket engine which uses the expansion of a (typically inert) pressurized gas to generate thrust.As opposed to traditional rocket engines, a cold gas thruster does not house any combustion and therefore has lower thrust and efficiency compared to conventional monopropellant and bipropellant rocket engines.

  6. Propellant management device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellant_management_device

    A propellant management device (PMD) provides a way to expel propellant in a low-gravity environment. Devices can use surface tension as the primary expulsion device with a combination of baffles, fins, and vanes. The main goal of the PMD is to provide gas-free propellant to the rocket engine. [1]

  7. Propulsor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propulsor

    A propulsor is a mechanical device that gives propulsion. The word is commonly used in the marine vernacular, and implies a mechanical assembly that is more complicated than a propeller. The Kort nozzle, pump-jet and rim-driven thruster are examples.

  8. Field-reversed configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-reversed_configuration

    A field-reversed configuration (FRC) is a type of plasma device studied as a means of producing nuclear fusion. It confines a plasma on closed magnetic field lines without a central penetration. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In an FRC, the plasma has the form of a self-stable torus, similar to a smoke ring .

  9. Pro stock - Wikipedia

    Allen Johnson's Mopar Dodge Avenger Pro Stock. Pro stock is a class of drag racing featuring "factory hot rods".The class is often described as "all motor", due to the cars not using any form of forced induction such as turbocharging or supercharging, or other enhancements, like nitrous oxide, along with regulations governing the modifications allowed to the engines and the types of bodies used.
