Electroacoustic Propulsion

Active Timeline for data production and upload is located at: https://github.com/CoryAndrewHofstad/Electroacoustic-Propulsion/projects/1 The wave assisted propulsion system project develops and studies novel electronic propulsion methods which use acoustic catalysts. The project was started within North Seattle College’s Undergraduate Research 294 Program in Fall of 2017, by aerospace engineering student Cory Andrew Hofstad. Plasma Vortex Theory was developed during a night spent watching back-to-back NASA aerospace videos on YouTube looking for a project idea for UGR 294. From the observation of rotational formations created in Lycopodium in the video documentary “Cymatic Soundscapes” by Hans Jenny, a theory was derived by combining Newtons’ first law of motion with Lorentz’s force law and Coulomb’s force law. The theory has two components: Through Lorentz’s force and the right-hand rule, an electroacoustic method could be used to increase an ionized particle’s velocity parallel to an electromagnetic field. A rotating ion cloud will have a higher final velocity then an ion cloud at rest when electromagnetic fields of equal force are applied.本数据集的数据制作与上传动态时间线可访问：https://github.com/CoryAndrewHofstad/Electroacoustic-Propulsion/projects/1。本波浪辅助推进系统项目研发并探究了一类采用声学催化剂的新型电子推进技术。该项目由航空工程专业学生科里·安德鲁·霍夫斯塔德（Cory Andrew Hofstad）于2017年秋季在北西雅图学院本科研究294项目（Undergraduate Research 294 Program，下称UGR 294）框架下启动。等离子体涡旋理论（Plasma Vortex Theory）的雏形源自为寻找UGR 294项目选题时，在YouTube上连续观看美国国家航空航天局（NASA）航空航天相关视频的那个夜晚。汉斯·珍妮（Hans Jenny）在纪录片《声振音景（"Cymatic Soundscapes"）》中展示了石松属植物（Lycopodium）形成的旋转结构，基于这一观测现象，研究人员结合牛顿第一运动定律、洛伦兹力定律与库仑力定律，推导出了本理论。该理论包含两个核心组成部分：其一，借助洛伦兹力与右手定则，可通过电声方法提升带电粒子沿电磁场方向的运动速度；其二，当施加同等强度的电磁场时，旋转态离子云的最终运动速度将高于静止态离子云。
