   Exploring Naval Applications for Internal Atmospheric Propulsion

   In this episode, Alfred Belen dives into the potential naval applications for internal atmospheric propulsion (IAP). With the US Navy and other navies already experienced in nuclear propulsion, could IAP be used for even more silent and efficient propulsion systems? Join us in exploring these exciting possibilities and the potential of IAP to revolutionize naval propulsion systems as well as outer space transportation.

    The Why

    In this episode, we talk about the possible applications of IAP in outer space, and how making electricity the main source of fuel can revolutionize thrust production in outer space. "Welcome back to Jets in Space, This is episode 3. Some say “start with the why”, but I felt the 2 previous episodes were needed as a foundation prior to the why. Now with the basics out of the way, let’s talk about the why. I agree with Elon Musk that our species is destined to be an interplanetary life form, and I feel called to contribute to this goal in my own little way. In my opinion, IAP would help decrease costs and improve overall access to extra earth activities..."
