  2. Water power engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_power_engine

    A water power engine includes prime movers driven by water and which may be classified under three categories: [1] Water pressure motors, having a piston and cylinder with inlet and outlet valves: their action is that analogous of a steam- or gas-engine with water as the working fluid – see water engine

  4. Arcjet rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcjet_rocket

    An arcjet rocket or arcjet thruster is a form of electrically powered spacecraft propulsion, in which an electrical discharge is created in a flow of propellant [1] [2] (typically hydrazine or ammonia).

  5. Rutherford (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_(rocket_engine)

    The pumps (one for the fuel and one for the oxidizer) in electric-pump feed engines are driven by an electric motor. [19] The Rutherford engine uses dual brushless DC electric motors and a lithium polymer battery. It is claimed that this improves efficiency from the 50% of a typical gas-generator cycle to 95%. [20]

  6. Model rocket motor classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_rocket_motor...

    The designation for a specific motor looks like C6-3.In this example, the letter (C) represents the total impulse range of the motor, the number (6) before the dash represents the average thrust in newtons, and the number (3) after the dash represents the delay in seconds from propelling charge burnout to the firing of the ejection charge (a gas generator composition, usually black powder ...

  7. Water engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_engine

    The largest possible design of a water engine is the directly acting water-column engine or water column machine [3] (German: Wassersäulenmaschine). Such devices had been in use for pumping purposes in different mining areas since the middle of the eighteenth century and one was used, for example, by Georg Friedrich von Reichenbach in 1810 to ...

  9. Liquid-propellant rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-propellant_rocket

    Electric pump-fed An electric motor, generally a brushless DC electric motor, drives the pumps. The electric motor is powered by a battery pack. It is relatively simple to implement and reduces the complexity of the turbomachinery design, but at the expense of the extra dry mass of the battery pack.
