This is another scene I made for the United 3D Artists forum monthly modeling challenge.  Here is a project that I have been working on for the past week: The FUROEngine, an air-breathing hybrid rocket engine designed for interplanetary spacecraft. It has three modes of operation: Air breathing: Air goes through the pre-cooler (a series of heat-exchangers which cool it down from over 1000C to minus 150C) after which the air goes through two compressors and is mixed with the fuel and helium in the pre-burner. Alongside this a hot air stream is mixed with hot gas (from liquid hydrogen) in the ram-jet burners. Oxidizer and hydrogen closed cycle: Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Hydrogen are mixed in pre-burners and hot gases are pumped through the main gas manifolds to the combustion chamber. Hydrogen fusion: Hydrogen is injected directly into the main combustion chamber where magnetic coils compress and ionize the hydrogen to create a plasma that is ejected through a magnetized nozzle. Note that radiation shields are necessary to protect the ship and crew from radiation. For this reason Hydrogen fusion is not used while in-atmosphere and near space stations/other ships.  More will come.
Beginning the Konay Industries line of exotic starships, this is the Helios Star Cruiser. It has a warp ring for interstellar travel. In atmosphere: Two KIVV MK8 hybrid air-breathing rocket engines. In space: KIVV-IO chemical rocket engines and maneuvering thrusters.     |
