100 W Cylindrical Hall Thruster

 

  • Power range: 50-300 W

  • Thrust: 2.5 – 12 mN

  • Efficiency: 15 – 32 %

  • Channel OD and Length = 2.6 cm

  • Overall sizes: 7cm in diameter x 7cm in length

  • Two electromagnetic coils
    (currents co-directed in the annular and
    counter-directed in the cylindrical configuration. )

  • Easily converted from the cylindrical
    to the annular thruster configuration
    (extension of the central magnetic pole and
    ceramic piece)
