Benefits of technology

This technology described for this purpose includes various improvements such as improved durable structures made up mostly of ceramic (hafnium oxide), reduced production costs compared to traditional designs, fast reaction times due to lower mass, efficient use of electrical current during flight, and simplified construction processes. Additionally, there may also include advanced features like position sensors on the aircraft itself, allowing accurate tracking over time without relying solely upon external references. Overall these benefits make the HFPEM system more effective at generating thrust than existing systems.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem addressed in this patented technical problem relates how current methods are limited when designing a stratum sphere (SZ) type aircraft without compromising their performance or safety due to factors like environmental impact on flight duration caused by burning fuels during prolonged use.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the working principle of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma excitation structure. Among them, the high-voltage electrodes 105 and the ground electrodes 106 are alternately arranged on both sides of the insulating medium 114, and the high-voltage alternating current is provided by the high-voltage power supply 107. After the high-voltage electrodes 105 and the ground electrodes 106 are connected to the high-voltage electricity, the fluid in the vicinity is ionized to generate plasma 118. 118 can induce flow, and at the same time generate a thrust opposite to the induced flow direction 115, so as to realize the excitation of the reaction force direction 116.

Abstract

The present invention provides a honeycomb-type dielectric barrier discharge plasma propelling device. The device comprises housing, a high-voltage power supply and a honeycomb structure arranged in the housing; and M layers of high-voltage electrodes are arranged on insulating dielectric walls in each honeycomb pore along the axial direction of the honeycomb structure, M layers of grounding electrodes are arranged at the positions where the insulating dielectric walls and the high-voltage electrodes are interleaved, and adjacent two layers of high-voltage electrodes and two layers of grounding electrodes form a dielectric barrier discharge plasma exciter. Because the main part of the device provided by the invention is a honeycomb structure, the honeycomb-type dielectric barrier discharge plasma propelling device is simple in structure, light in weight and low in manufacturing cost; the honeycomb-type dielectric barrier discharge plasma propelling device is fast in response and high in reliability because of having no motion parts; the honeycomb-type dielectric barrier discharge plasma propelling device is able to control the voltage and the frequency of a high-voltage power supply, flexibly set the excitation intensity and the power consumption, accurately control the size of thrust and regulate the axial direction of the honeycomb structure so as to regulate the direction of the thrust; and moreover, when being applied to an airship, the honeycomb-type dielectric barrier discharge plasma propelling device is able to realize accurate control of the motion speed and the motion direction of the airship and realize staying of the airship in the sky for a long time with no need for carrying fuel.
