A rocket belt creates thrust by using pressurized nitrogen to push hydrogen peroxide into a chamber where thin silver plates break it down into heat, oxygen and water. The water is so hot it turns to steam and goes shooting out the belt's nozzles at supersonic speed giving thrust. 2, record 1, English, - rocket%20belt

Systems Analysis of a Future Semi-Reusable Launcher, Based on a High Thrust Bleed Cycle Rocket Engine. In this paper a high thrust, cryogenic bleed cycle engine, to be used for propulsion of future reusable booster stages(liquid fly back boosters), of an expendable heavy lift launcher, is analyzed. The system configuration remains unchanged, in terms of total available fuel and the number of engines, hereas the variation of the engine parameters result in a change of total system mass and payload capacity. Different arrangements of bleed cycles are being analyzed, and compared with each other. The paper describes a simplified heat transfer model, used in the analysis of the suggested cycles. The thrust chamber design is discussed and a preliminary design of the booster vehicle, including a trajectory analysis, is presented. 3, record 8, English, - semi%2Dreusable%20launcher

A rocket engine is a device in which propellants are burned in a combustion chamber and the resulting high pressure gases are expanded through a specially shaped nozzle to produce thrust. The function of the nozzle is to convert the chemical-thermal energy generated in the combustion chamber into kinetic energy. The nozzle converts the slow moving, high pressure, high temperature gas in the combustion chamber into high velocity gas of lower pressure and temperature. Gas velocities from 2 to 4. 5 kilometers per second can be obtained in rocket nozzles. The nozzles which perform this feat are called DeLaval nozzles(after the inventor) and consist of a convergent and divergent section. The minimum flow area between the convergent and divergent section is called the nozzle throat. The flow area at the end of the divergent section is called the nozzle exit area. 6, record 10, English, - divergent%20exit%20cone

Le contrôle de direction est le mode de guidage utilisé pendant le fonctionnement du moteur de démarrage du missile. Il s'agit, par contrôle gyroscopique, de maintenir le missile sur sa trajectoire de visée. Au cours de cette phase, l'attitude du missile est conservée par le système de contrôle du vecteur de poussée (TVC) qui consiste en quatre clapets espacés à des intervalles de 90 degrés sur le pourtour de la tuyère de la chambre de poussée du moteur de démarrage. 1, record 15, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20contr%C3%B4le%20du%20vecteur%20de%20pouss%C3%A9e

The ejector lift principle, as developed by de Havilland Canada and used by General Dynamics in the E-7 design, also ducts forwards but to a specially-designed chamber where ambient air is entrained by the fan stream and a thrust-augmentation effect is obtained. The main engine nozzle swivels for lift thrust and, in forward flight, the fan stream has its own separate exhaust with afterburner. 1, record 16, English, - ejector%20lift%20principle

Directional control is the guidance mode used during missile boost engine operation. It is a gyroscope-controlled method of keeping the missile on its aimed course. During this phase, the missile attitude is maintained by a thrust vector control(TVC) system, which consists of four simple on-off valves spaced at 90 degree intervals around the nozzle of the booster thrust chamber. 1, record 17, English, - directional%20control
