Plume Divergence and Discharge Oscillations of an Accessible Low-Power Hall Effect Thruster

Plume Divergence and Discharge Oscillations of an Accessible Low-Power Hall Effect Thruster

Hall effect thrusters (HETs) are an increasingly utilized proportion of electric propulsion devices due to their high thrust-to-power ratio. To enable an accessible research thruster, our team used inexpensive materials and simplified structures to fabricate the 44-mm-diameter Western Hall Thruster...
