STRUCTURAL DIAGRAMS<br />

Ion grid motor with surface ionization<br />

<strong>and</strong> forced feed <strong>of</strong> the working medium<br />

This motor (Fig. 5.34) consists <strong>of</strong> an ion emitter-ionizer unit,<br />

the ion beam shaping grid unit, the feed system unit, <strong>and</strong> the power<br />

supply.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ionizing unit consists <strong>of</strong> a sealed niobium chamber 1,<br />

heater 2, ionizer 3, which is a plate <strong>of</strong> porous tungsten shaped in<br />

the form <strong>of</strong> cylindrical surfaces - b<strong>and</strong>s 3 - between which are soldered<br />

plates II to protect the extraction grid from ion bombardment. In<br />

the ionizer unit there are also screens 5 which reduce heat losses.<br />
