Like missiles, these grenades have a built-in rocket propulsion system. Impact grenades must be unarmed until they are actually fired because any accidental contact might set them off. Since they are usually shot from a launcher, they must have an automatic arming system. In some designs, the...
4 km/s is well within the capabilities of a chemical rocket, but any higher and you will probably need staging or a propulsion system with more exhaust velocity. The old image of orbit-to-orbit ships look like dumb-bells, the front ball is the cargo and habitat module, the rear is ...
A turbojet is the simplest kind of jet engine based on a gas turbine: it's a basic "rocket" jet that moves a plane forward by firing a hot jet of exhaust backward. The exhaust leaving the engine is much faster than the cold air entering it—and that's how a turbojet makes its ...
(3), the said turbine (6) driving an air compressor (4) located upstream of the structural arms (8); the central body (2) possesses axially, in its downstream part, a rocket engine (9) itself fed with liquid fuels via the structural arms (8) and expelling propulsion gases into a ...
What do you think of when you hear the word “jetpack”? Do you imagine a device that will allow people to fly through the air? Or maybe a pack with rocket boosters attached, just like in The Jetsons. Well, if your idea of jetpacks is more on the realistic side then it is one of...
Even though rocket motors require power, they are still referred to in the field as rocket motors. Every motor and pump in a car with an internal combustion engine gets its juice from the motors and pumps themselves. Another way of looking at it is that an engine generates power from ...
Bevel gears look like cones and are used to transfer force between two shafts that cross at a single point (intersecting shafts). A cone serves as the pitch surface of a bevel gear, and the teeth are cut along the cone. Linear bevel gears, helical bevel gears, mitre gears, angled bevel...
than is required to simply get in and out of one’s slip. A true motorsailer has sufficient horsepower and fuel tankage to travel long distances under power. A passagemaking motorsailer can use both propulsion sources quite effectively, able to cross an ocean under power alone, or downwind ...

Types of Lifeboat There are three types of lifeboats used on merchant vessels: Open Lifeboat As the name suggests, the open lifeboat has no roof and is normally propelled by manual power, using hand-propelled oars. A compression ignition engine may also be provided for propulsion. However, open...
