Will Hurley, a second year PhD student at PEPL, tells us how efficient operation of Hall thrusters at high power density may pave the way for their use for human missions to Mars and beyond.

Thanks for the straightforward explanation! Great job!
Hey, thanks for great presentation! Nice to hear there are more and more ML (and near-ML🙂) applications in space propulsion engineering.
Yo thats so cool, suscribed!
Tried high temperature superconductor magnets?
Hey, great presentation! Have you published papers on ML magnetic field analytics? I am working on something somewhat similar and would like to see your approach if possible!

Yes! We recently published at the international electric propulsion conference: pepl.engin.umich.edu/pdf/IEPC-2022-Hurley.pdf all of our papers are available in pdf form on our website!
So, theoretically how much thrust can one get out of one of these hall thrusters if we push the technology as far as it can go?

Depends on the size of the device. At the power densities we hope to achieve, we might get 10 N or so for a device with a footprint of about a square foot
Where are the Space Reactors?
Which direction are the poles of the magnets? Would it be north toward thrust and south toward anode? Or would the poles be perpendicular to the current flow. And if so what direction would the poles be? I'm confused on how that works with a radial magnetic field.
