Russian scientists are working on creating a “perpetual motion machine” for space satellites
By ForGeeks Scientists from the Moscow Aviation Institute are working on a new type of engine for space satellites that can be used without refueling and has an unlimited service life.
Scientists from the Moscow Aviation Institute are working on a new type of engine for space satellites that can be used without refueling and has an unlimited service life.
The engine is based on using gases from the atmosphere, such as nitrogen and oxygen, to create thrust without the need for an additional power source. This can reduce the cost of launching, maintaining and delivering satellites into orbit, as well as making them convenient and efficient for use in space.
The engine can be used to create thrust without the need for an additional power source.
The exact characteristics of the installation will depend on the size and shape of the satellite, as well as the orbit. Power consumption is planned to be 1 kW at an altitude of 200 kilometers, where satellites are typically located.
