The invention relates to a
laser propelled engine. The
laser propelled engine comprises a plane lens (1), a conical
parabolic reflector (2), a convex reflector (3) and a spray
pipe (5). The appearance of the
laser propelled engine is similar to that of the traditional liquid
rocket engine. The size of a
combustion chamber can be amplified or reduced in proportion as required, and the size of the plane lens (1) can be adjusted along with adjustment of the size of the
combustion chamber, therefore, the requirement on the
heat resistance of the material of the plane lens (1) is reduced. The bottom of the conical
parabolic reflector (2) is positioned on the top of the spray
pipe, can prevent a high-temperature
plasma from refluxing to the
combustion chamber and has favorable protecting effecton
all optical devices. A laser focus point is always arranged nearby the
throat part of the spray
pipe, and the spray pipe works stably and is free from upstream influence.
