Abstract

See full text

This patent seeks to describe a design and method of production of a solid state radiometric thruster for the intent of producing a new method of powered flight at varying scales of operation. By using modern nano-manufacturing techniques it is possible to create surface microstructures of the same size as the mean free path for gases at any desired operational pressure, allowing for radiometric forces to be harnessed for propulsion even when the total part dimensions are several orders of magnitude larger than would normally allow this effect to create a noticeable force.
