| 发明名称 | Ion drive for a spacecraft | ||
| 摘要 | An ion drive for a spacecraft, including a high-frequency generator for generating an alternating electromagnetic field for the ionization of a propellant and an acceleration system for the charge carriers, is provided. The ion drive includes a voltage source with which the high voltages that are necessary for the acceleration system can be derived from the currents and/or voltages generated by the high-frequency generator for generating the alternating electromagnetic field. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An ion drive for a spacecraft, comprising: a generator that generates an alternating electromagnetic field for the ionization of a propellant; a charge carrier acceleration system that generates an electrostatic field; and a voltage source, distinct from the generator, that derives voltages for operation of the charge carrier acceleration system from at least one of an alternating current and an alternating voltage generated by the generator. | ||
