Patent ID: 10724480

Abstract:
The monofilament vaporization propulsion system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes a mechanical feed, an elongated barrel, a heater block, a tube, and a nozzle. A monofilament solid propellant is wound around a spool and fed into the mechanical feed. The elongated barrel is configured to receive the solid propellant towards a second end. The heater block is positioned near the second end of the barrel and configured to heat the propellant into a liquid propellant as the solid propellant moves towards the second end. The tube receives the liquid propellant and is configured to evaporate the liquid propellant into a gaseous propellant. The gaseous propellant enters a nozzle in communication with the tube. The gaseous propellant being fed into the nozzle entrance expands there-through to create propulsion out an nozzle exit.
