Rocket Motor Based on Rapid Fire Pellets Exploding in Long Exhaust Tubes
Rocket Scientists are constantly looking for new more efficient and safer ways to fire rockets. Due to the problems that are posed when multi-staged rockets many nations, space programs and military's still to this day have a tough time launching satellites, staging rocket and missile demonstrations and putting equipment and people into orbit. Over the last many decades unbelievable numbers of catastrophes have taken place costs 100s millions, even billions of dollars in hardware and too many lives to even wish to talk about. This is a critical issue indeed.
Therefore, I propose a new type of rocket motor system that is based on the new rapid fire weapons systems where each projectile fired lights the one behind it causing it to fire. However, instead of bullet projectiles, I propose using small balls of fuel that are sucked into a Venturi Tube after firing and then once compressed by the pressure moving thru the tube they fire and explode.
This causes the rocket to accelerate. Since, each line of projectiles can be monitored and then started when ready the rocket's sensors can let out the exact amount of propellant projectiles needed for a perfect and safer acceleration, as needed. Since this system is safe it can also be used to launch hypersonic aircraft, space craft or satellites into orbit. Perhaps it can also be used for rocket assist as needed in some aerospace applications.
Since, these rapid fire weapons systems already exist, it is my estimation that the cost to test this scheme would be in the 10s of millions if not less and thus, it makes no sense not to try it and see what we come up with after the tests are concluded. Good luck in your mission to create the world's safest rocket motor and God's Speed to you and yours.
