IMPULSE PLASMA ELECTRIC JET ENGINE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F03H1/00 

FIELD: electric jet engines.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electric jet engines using electronic detonation type of discharge. Engine consists of anode and cathode with spark gap in form of working surface made of dielectric in contact with source of liquid or gel-like working medium. Working surface is made fixed, and in zone between anode and cathode movable source of liquid or gel-like working medium is placed for reciprocation. Fixed working surface can be made in form of chute with cavity in contact with working medium source which is essentially porous capillary elastic filter. Liquid phase dielectric with low pressure of saturated vapors, for instance, vacuum oil is used as working medium, and working surface is made of dielectric material wettable with working medium, for instance, ceramics or caprolone.

EFFECT: reduced angle of scattering of outflow products, including ion component.
