Electric Plasma Jet Engine – A Clean Aircraft Propulsion Power Plant

Comfort Ezichi Chiadikaobi

Abstract


Electric plasma jet engines was defined and its necessary components explain. It was found out that simple experiments can be conducted in a laboratory to experience the behavior of plasma jet engine. Furthermore, it was clearly stated that though plasma jet engines can provide sufficient thrust just as a fossil fuel-based jet engine, it is a lot safer, clean and cheap and more reliable to run a jet engine on plasma. Recommendation was also made on further research especially in the area of temperature, where plasma engine jet engine temperature need to be dropped.


Keywords
