1 Design for an Interstellar Spacecraft Kristos Mavros Introduction In my quest to make interstellar space travel feasible I realized that this could not be done without a standard design for a spacecraft needed. I combined two of my ideas, the ether propeller which I first described in my paper A Mad Universe and the fast particle atomic reactor which I described in my paper Proposal For a Fast Particle Atomic Reactor. I have made significant progress in the design of the ether propeller and it will be described fully in the following paper. I invite the reader to visit my web site at: where you will find a complete collection of my works. My intention is to give to the world a workhorse on which future space exploration can be built. Chapter 1 The Virtual Rotating Ether Propeller Below is the controlling circuit for the virtual rotating ether propeller.
2 Diagram 1 There is a timed source; a positive pulse that enters the first inverter and the second inverter creates a pulse 180 degrees out of phase with the initial pulse. The first pulse turns on the first two charging transistors which charges capacitors propeller 1 and propeller 3 the second pulse which is 180 degrees out of phase turns on the next two charging transistors which charges capacitors propeller 2 and propeller 4. There is a negative pulse taken from the first two charging transistors which goes to the first two discharging transistors which discharges capacitors propeller 2 and propeller 4. Then there is a negative pulse 180 degrees out of phase from the first pulse taken from the second two charging transistors which goes to the second two discharging transistors which discharges capacitors propeller 1 and propeller 3. Hence when capacitors propeller 1 and propeller 3 charges capacitors propeller 2 and propeller 4 discharges and when capacitors propeller 2 and propeller 4 charges capacitors propeller 1 and propeller 3 discharges. Now there a four sectors to the ether propeller as shown below, with sector 1 and sector 3 in opposite quarters and sector 2 and sector 4 in opposite quarters as shown. Diagram 2 Each sector is connected to the negative side of its equivalent numbered capacitor so when sectors 1 and 3 charge negative sectors 2 and 4 discharge and when sectors 2 and 4 charge negative sectors 1and 3 discharge. Therefore there will be a rotating electric field created as described in my paper A Mad Universe
3 This will create two opposite; oppositely rotating dipoles. i.e. When sectors one and three charge negative sectors two and four charge positive and when sectors two and four charge negative sectors one and three charge positive. This will only help to increase the efficiency of the ether propeller as described in my book A Mad Universe. Chapter 2 The Progressive Rotating Ether Propeller Below is the controlling circuit for the progressive rotating ether propeller. Diagram 1 Study the circuit and you will see there is three singles inputted to the control circuit 100, 010, 001 the zeros represent zero voltage while the ones represent high voltage each input of each single is clocked in with a timed sequence so when the base of the first negative charging transistor goes high the base of the second and third negative charging transistors goes low and when the base of the second negative charging transistor goes high the base of the first and third negative charging transistors goes low and when the base of the third negative charging transistor goes high the base of the first and second negative charging transistors goes low.
4 Looking at the circuit when the first negative charging transistor is turned on then the first positive charging transistor is turned on and when the second negative charging transistor is turned on the second positive charging transistor is turned on and similarly for the third negative and positive charging transistors Now the first negative charging transistor charges sectors 2,6 3, 5 negative while the first positive charging transistor charges sectors 1 and 4 positive. Each charging transistor turns on the next lot of sectors i.e negative charging transistor 2 charges sectors 4, 6,1,3 negative while sectors 2 and 5 charge positive and so on. Note: if you look at the diagram of the ether propeller you will see that the positive charged sectors are in the center of the negative charged sectors and reflected diagonally onto the other side of the ether propeller i.e. sector 1 is diagonally opposite to sector 4. So when each negative charging transistor is turned on sequentially there will be a progressive rotation of 2 diagonally opposite positive sectors one way and the rotation of 4 diagonally opposite negative sectors the other way. Depending on the wiring the positive charged sectors can rotate either clockwise or anti clockwise and the negative charged sectors rotate in the opposite direction. Diagram 3 Chapter 2 Power If the sectors are in the form of a capacitor i.e. there is a charged plate and a sector back plate. Then if the back plates are connected to the positive voltage then there will only be a progressive rotation of two diagonally opposite positive sectors either clockwise or anti-
5 clockwise, the negative charged sectors cancel themselves with the positive charge and become neutral the same is true of the virtual rotating ether propeller except there will only be two neutral sectors but still two diagonally opposite rotating positive sectors Now the power of the propeller can be calculated. I will not go into the electronic math but it can be shown that: P V 2 i.e. Power is proportional to voltage squared. Note: Power is also proportional to capacitance and frequency but we are interested in voltage so: P = 2 fcv 2 Where P=power in watts, 2 is the number of charged positive sectors, f=frequency of the singles in hertz, C=capacitance in farads and V=voltage in volts. Therefore for any increase in voltage there is an enormous increase in power and hence lifting thrust of the propeller. The theory on which the propeller works can be found in my papers A Mad Universe and A Journey into the Mind of a Mad Man. Chapter 4 The Power Source. Unlike spacecraft of today the power source is electric rather than chemical and a small conventional atomic reactor can be used but I am really excited about the idea of a fast particle atomic reactor which would give an almost infinite power source relatively speaking while taking a very small space in the spacecraft. Whichever is used there will be an enormous increase in power available as we are using atomic and not chemical energy. The fast particle atomic reactor is described in my paper of the same name. Chapter 5 The Final Design As shown below the final design takes the familiar shape of a flying disk as described by many people in so-called extra terrestrial contacts. This was completely accidental as I sought to design the most efficient design for the ether propeller. Maybe there is something in what people have been saying for years.
