Question

What is ion Thruster?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity. ... The Deep Space 1 spacecraft, powered by an ion thruster, changed velocity by 4.3 km/s (9,600 mph) while consuming less than 74 kg (163 lb) of xenon...

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\mathcal{\blue{answer}}$

Explanation:

Ion thruster is a machine drive by using ionic wind . In this there are two electrodes by giving them the high voltage they get accelerate upward. The scientists are working on it by making a spacecraft and fly by using ion thruster. Scientists predict that we can reach the 10% of the speed of light. Scientists also make a solar cell it also work like a ion thruster as we all know that the sun is releasing solar wind which is actually a ionic wind.

These ionic wind lift the solar cell in space by this we reach the 3% of the speed of light.

In nasa scientists using 100 liter of compressed xenon used and powered it by using high voltage electrodes.

Nicolas Tesla said that we can fly a object by giving high voltage.
