Curled Ballisitic Thermionics

[Philip Hardcastle]

I come up with a force of 5.37E-32N per photon collision.

So assuming net force is 10% then that amounts to a net force of 5.4E-33N

So it is incredibly small.

For an amps worth of emission we would get 4E-14N whereas the momentum tranfer for the electrons will be of the order of 1E-5N or a billion times as much.

however I reserve at almost midnight the right to be a decimal place out.

So unless someone says otherwise the cheque is not signed

pls also note that an emitted photon of 0.01ev is too big however the formula is so complicated at this time of night that I just gave a big number as a gimme. I think from a quick calc that the photons emitted would be about 0.00001ev for a velocity of 100,000m/s at a 5um radius in a mag field of 0.01T. Perhaps you might have the number already retroworm.

again I reserve the right to be mistaken by a factor of 10 at midnight.

Hi again,

found something on wiki that supports my rough calcs.

A square mile sail receiving energetic sunlight only has a force of 2 Newtons. Dividing down a square mile to a cm2 is 1/2.56E10 or 3.9E-11

So that says that an amps worth of .00001ev photons is about 1/5000th of sunlight photons so we divide 3.9E-11 by 5000

is..............7.8E-15N

give or take a decimal place

[Philip Hardcastle]

The 5,000 should be about 13,600 so the force of photons is more like 2.86E-15

If this idea is true.

Then this is the project with more impact in the live in all the world.
