One of the simplest examples of a stellar engine is the Shkadov thruster (named after Dr. Leonid Shkadov, who first proposed it), or a class-A stellar engine. [5]

2014年7月21日 · By devising a megastructure called a Shkadov Thruster, we could cruise our solar system—sun, planets, and all—close enough to a younger star for it to gravitationally capture Earth.

2017年7月1日 · A Shkadov thruster is a type of megastructure and stellar engine first proposed by the physicist Leonid Shkadov in his 1987 paper entitled "Possibility of controlling solar system motion in the galaxy." To make one, an enormous arc mirror would have to be built near a star as depicted in Figure 2.

2013年11月26日 · The physicist Leonid Shkadov described a Shkadov thruster in a 1987 paper called “Possibility of Controlling Solar System Motion in the Galaxy” (reference at the end). Imagine an enormous mirror constructed in space so as to reflect a …

2019年12月23日 · The Caplan Thruster has one big advantage over another stellar engine idea, the Shkadov Thruster, proposed by scientist Leonid Shkadov: it would be much faster. At full throttle, the Shkadov Thruster could probably propel us 100 light years over 230 million years.

2011年12月1日 · One of the simplest examples of stellar engine is the Shkadov thruster (named after Dr. Leonid Mikhailovich Shkadov who first proposed it), or a Class A stellar engine.

The Shkadov Thruster uses a massive, reflective, parabolic dish array placed in the direction of desired motion. The star's light pushes on the reflector array and reflects backwards, producing a small thrust.

2019年12月31日 · Shkadov’s thruster, the far simpler of the two designs, uses an ultra-thin parabolic mirror to bounce the sun’s radiating photons in the direction opposite of that in which it’s...

A Shkadov thruster is a hypothetical device built by a Type II Kardashev civilization to control a star's motion. It consists of a mirror of rim angle psi placed at some distance r from a star S (see figure).

2014年7月7日 · Gregory Benford and Larry Niven have created as a ‘modified’ Shkadov Thruster for a propulsion scheme capable of moving stars.
