A 19-year-old Egyptian universitystudent called Aisha Mustafa has invented a propulsion device intended to offer spacecrafts a new method and cheaper means of energy consumption.
The propulsion device promises chances of using quantum physics and chemical reactions in artificial satellites, instead...... of the current radioactive-based jets and ordinary rocket engines.
Mustafa’s device is based on a scientific mix between quantum physics , space technology, chemical reactions and electrical sciences.
Mustafa said the inventions generates energy for space vehicles from electric energy formed by Casimir-polder force, which occurs between separate surfaces and objects in a vacuum and by the zero-point energy considered as the loweststate of energy.
The device uses reflective panels for additional force which resembles photovoltaic solar cells.
At present, artificial satellites, spacecrafts and space vehicles depend on rocket gas engines that use forced gas at a supersonic speed, or chemical reactions rockets propelled by solid or liquid fuels such as radionuclide or petroleum. Others use electrically propelled probes, which depend on thrusting force via accelerating ions.
The physics student at Sohag University told EGYNews agency she has patented the device with Egyptian Academy of scientific Research and Technology (ASRT).
The invention is related to a hypothetical concept of a jet propulsion called “Differential Sail”, theoretically created by NASA’s retired professor Marc G. Millis — who led NASA breakthrough propulsion physics project. Dr. Ahmed Fikry, Mustafa’s supervisor, said the invention would be highly beneficial in several fields and areas of industries once adopted.
The 19-year-old says she aims attesting her invention at major scientific research organisationshence the possibility of applying it in upcoming space missions.
The new invention, analysts say, is expected to make space travels, easier, cheaper and faster in future.
