Sustainable mobility is forcing major brands to innovate and break the limits known until now. When hydrogen was postulated as the great successor of EVs, now we have learned that a group of experts has “reversed” with an engine that has “traveled in time” 200 years. It was a prediction by Einstein and a “design” by Elon Musk, who has his eyes set on space with a fuel that no one quite believes and that has never been tested before in history.
Einstein predicted this engine, and Musk designed it: 200 years and a prototype
RocketStar Proton Engine is a cutting-edge product that is designed to be the game changer in space business using nuclear fusion. The future RocketStar engine was named thus due to its analogous intentions: to convert the mass of protons right into power, just like Einstein’s E=MC^2 indicates the ultimate energy of atoms.
RocketStar engines are intended to obtain ISP values ranging from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand seconds, while chemical rocket engines have ISP values of three hundred to four hundred and fifty seconds. This excellent performance is attributed to the generator’s capacity to capture power and energy resulting from the fusion of protons.
From previous calculations, RocketStar can probably deliver an exhaust velocity of 3% the speed of light, or 9,000 km/s. This translates to a relative increase in thrust-to-weight ratio, which make spacecraft accelerate a lot faster and with more efficiency.
RocketStar engine is one of the products of the innovations that have undergone intensive research and testing among scientists.
RocketStar has unveiled the engine of the future: It has “traveled through time” 200 years
The compact power source and the crux of the engine’s design is a fusion reactor that encases a stream of protons in a powerful magnetic field and eases it to a point where it fuses together. In the middle of the reactor, the fusion reaction occurs, and far-reaching explosive energy is produced, which is then transformed into kinetic energy.
This process enables the generation of thrust from the mass of the protons, and therefore it is a method that is different from the chemical rockets that uses propellants to create thrust. The primary driving force of the RocketStar engine is the proton, which is pointed out as the most prevalent piece in the universe.
It’s not only about the proton engine: The secret is what happens inside its core
Inside the rocket’s core, the RocketStar engine contains a kind of fusion reactor: protons are induced and squeezed with the help of the magnetic field. When the protons get in touch with each other and the fusion takes place, there is always the production of energy in terms of high-energy particles as well as radiation.
This is a very efficient method of converting mass into energy because much more energy is released for the same amount of mass as in the case of chemical reactions. This is what bestows remarkable performance and efficiency on the RocketStar engine. However, like most of the breakthrough technologies, the RocketStar engine is also not without its difficulties.
One of the prominent challenges that must be addressed during the design of a rocket is the creation of a fusion reactor, which would be used as a power source and which is still an unexplored technology, especially when it comes to utilizing it in a space environment that is typically is a lot more demanding than on Earth. This is one of the key challenges that the RocketStar team is trying to address.
What could be the first Einstein proton engine has ended up being an innovation that leaves hydrogen (and FCEVs) in the background. So, you might ask what will happen now with EVs? Tesla has reason to be concerned, for while this prototype is designed for space exploration, it could end up being a proposition for cars. However, it’s something that remains for the medium to long term, as we have also seen with the first ammonia-engine for cars (not from Toyota, which were fake news).
