High Voltage Ionic Thruster 🚀
An ionic thruster, also known as an ion drive or ion engine, is a type of electric propulsion system that uses electricity to accelerate ions to create thrust. It's used to propel spacecraft.
🔴Here's how an ionic thruster works:
📌Ionization: A high-energy electron collides with a neutral propellant atom, removing electrons from it and creating a positively charged ion.
📌Acceleration: The ions are accelerated using electricity to create thrust.
📌Neutralization: Electrons are shot at the exiting ions to neutralize them.
