Uh, If you use a very light Ion gun with antiprotons as fuel, and use 1200kg or so of superconducting coils with extremely lightweight and efficient cooling with enormous currents, sure why not. Why do you even need such a lightweight engines anyways? Because The Astronomer had created something like what I have mentioned in your torch missile thread... Well, nothing in the laws of physics speaks against it, but I believe an engineer would get a stroke when he sees that engine. |

Aluminium Copper Lithium works good. Thanks. sliver if you use visible light, otherwise for 400-535nm you need mangesium, for lower you need aluminium |

The Astronomer samchiu2000 You take your Thrust power, for example 1TW, then you multiply this value by the percentage of non-charged particles. D-T: 80% Neutrons, 20% Thermal (80% heat) D-D: 12% Thermal, 38% Neutrons, 50% X-rays. (88%) D-He³: 75% Thermal, 5% Neutrons, 20% X-rays (25%) p-B11: 100% Thermal. (0%) Bremsstrahlung isn't calculated in already. Thermal: Helium-4 Ions and protons. They can be directed using a magnetic nozzle. So they don't contribute in heating. This should go in the OP so newcomers know what they are doing. |

Hello! I created this thread to see with what fusion designs people come up with the time. I start with my own. ![]() View AttachmentView AttachmentThe Firefly: This fusion warship was designed to be as realistic and plausible as possible (theoretical/fundamental wise) The engine has an exhaust velocity 20.1Mm/s (26,7Mm/s max D-He³ exhaust vel.) with an thrust power of 262TW. Resulting with 65,5TW of heat, thanks to the "firefly" design a significant amount of x-ray and neutrons can radiate into the voids of space. The Ship still has to deal with 1,5TW Heat, this is where the four giant radiators come in play, each of them can radiate 430 GW of heat. Delta-v: 10% of C Acceleration: Constant 1G, mass flow gets reduced as ship mass decreases. Armament: 20x Railguns with 171 qs reload time and a velocity of 1.08Mm/s (567J KE per projectile) 1x 1GW 41,7% Laser with 10Mm range, (286MW/m² at 10 Mm.) 4x Missile Launchers with 5000x NEFP's. Each has a 142T warhead and 12km/s, 30s burn-time. 20 missiles can be launched per second. Armor: An Armor plate in front of the ship, sufficient to protect the ship from heavy kinetic weaponry and minutes of non-modded lasers. The Astronomer Could you post a full text file with all of the mods and that awesome Torch Warship you have there  |
