New Ion Drive achieves 14,600 ISP which is 50% better than NASAs best
University of Sydney doctoral candidate in Physics, Paddy Neumann, has developed a new kind of ion space drive that has 153% more fuel efficiency than the previous record ion drive built by NASA. The current record, held by NASA’s HiPEP system, allows 9600 (+/- 200) seconds of specific impulse. However, results recorded by the Neumann …
