Abstract[English]
The invention discloses an electromagnetic propulsion system for spacecraft, utilizing multiple ring structures with helically arranged pathways containing magnetic ball bearings. These bearings are accelerated by electromagnetic coils, generating thrust via the conservation of momentum. The system comprises dual-function rings, designated for forward and reverse thrust, enabling precise control over spacecraft acceleration and deceleration. This non-chemical propulsion method offers a sustainable alternative by eliminating the need for expendable propellants. The modular and scalable design allows for varying thrust levels, making it adaptable for diverse mission profiles, from small satellites to large exploration vehicles. This innovative approach enhances spacecraft maneuverability, efficiency, and operational lifespan.[French]
L'invention concerne un système de propulsion électromagnétique pour engin spatial, utilisant de multiples structures annulaires avec des voies agencées de manière hélicoïdale contenant des roulements à billes magnétiques. Ces roulements sont accélérés par des bobines électromagnétiques, générant une poussée par conservation d'impulsion. Le système comprend des anneaux à double fonction, désignés pour une poussée vers l'avant et vers l'arrière, permettant un contrôle précis de l'accélération et de la décélération de l'engin spatial. Ce procédé de propulsion non chimique offre une alternative durable en éliminant le besoin de propergols sacrifiables. La conception modulaire et évolutive permet de faire varier les niveaux de poussée, ce qui le rend adaptable pour divers profils de mission, comprenant tout autant des petits satellites que des grands véhicules d'exploration. Cette approche innovante améliore la manœuvrabilité, l'efficacité et la durée de vie de l'engin spatial.
