Coupling magnetic field with truss dynamics for tensegrity ship designs (Medusa-like)
Magnetic forces acting on conductors
Plasma nozzle for nuclear pulse propulsion
Magnetic confinement chamber for magnetic fusion propulsion
Voltage generated on metallic components by movement in magnetic field
Magetic Pulse Plasma Nozzle Solver - Pulse Plasma Nozzle to shield and direct expanding plasma from nuclear pulse (e.g. for inertial nuclear fusion propulsion)
we can assume that speed of plasma expansion is much faster than decay of magnetic field (i.e. decay of current) in the coils and wires. Therefore total magnetic field and total current is preserved. Current is iduced in wires and coils to compensate field pushed out by expanding plasma.
SolarSystemMap.cpp - Map od solar systems with many asteroides obtained from asteroid database (including realistic orbits and velocities)
spaceCraftEditor.cpp - editor of an spacecraft which can be loaded from lua script.
spaceCraftDynamics.cpp - Simulates dynamics of spacecraft (e.g. when it is rotating or conducting other inner-manuevers)
spaceTactics.cpp - Example of using the engine to simulate a simple tactical situation where one spacecraft intercept other spacecraft around jupiter moons
Technical tests / sketches:
test_OptContinuousThrust.cpp - Otimization of
orbital trajectory with propulsion engines with continuously variable thrust (e.e. ion engines). They are assumed to be limited by power (energy flow), the thrust can be increased at the cost of lower specific impulse (i.e. higher propelant consumption).
