The Nitrogen TEA Laser – Bravo Laserworks

A TEA laser is a gas laser energized by a high-voltage electrical discharge in a gas mixture generally at or above atmospheric pressure. The most common types are carbon dioxide lasers and excimer lasers, both used extensively in industry and research; less common are nitrogen lasers. The acronym “TEA” stands for “transversely excited atmospheric”. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEA_laser…

The Ion Thruster – Bravo Laserworks

An ion thruster, ion drive, or ion engine is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. An ion thruster creates a cloud of positive ions from a neutral gas by ionizing it to extract some electrons from its atoms. The ions are then accelerated using electricity to create thrust. Ion thrusters are categorized as either electrostatic or electromagnetic. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster Source link
