PLASMA JET ENGINE BASED ON HALL EFFECT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03H1/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a plasma jet engine based on Hall effect. The engine includes an annular outlet duct enveloping the major axis, which has an open downward end and is restricted with an internal wall and an external wall, a cathode, a magnetic circuit for creation of a magnetic field in the duct, and a pipeline for supply of gas capable of ionisation to the duct. An anode located in an upstream end of the duct also serves as a distributor providing flow of gas capable of ionisation along concentric trajectory about the major axis. The distributor together with internal and external walls restricts in an upward direction an annular output cavity that projects into the ionisation zone of the duct and an annular intermediate cavity. Outlet openings attach the intermediate cavity to an outlet cavity.

EFFECT: use of the invention allows eliminating twisting about the engine axis of an ion flux at the outlet of the outlet duct.
