Design of A Novel Engine Using Stimulated Nomad Tissue

E. Pérez et al

Thanks to the diligent work by our comrades in the military division we have gathered a significant amount of nomad remains of varying types at our research labs at Corsica Shipyard. My team has spent the following weeks analyzing the remains and identifying still viable components. Of particular interest is one “organ” that appears to be part of the nomad propulsion system. Given its similarity to some known sea organisms, we have named it the osculum.

Specimen Regeneration and Observation

---

Through immersion of the most viable samples in baths of liquid cardamine, and exposure to broad spectrum radiation our team has managed to stimulate regeneration in several osculum samples. Several days ago we mounted the most intact sample in a testing frame and attempted to stimulate it into action.

After several variations of pseudo-neural stimulation, we successfully achieved a reaction from the organ. A high energy event occurred within the osculum, resulting in the emission of a small amount of plasma, photons with energies up to 150 keV, and a shower of neutrinos.

Building upon this discovery, we have started the construction of a prototype apparatus to explore using these nomad osculums in place of conventional propulsion. This would allow us to reduce our dependence on imported H-Fuel, and replace it with our own locally produced resources.

Experimental Design

---

This diagram is a cross section of the planned Nomad Osculum Vehicle Accelerator experiment. An osculum is suspended within a Nanocrystal Allow containment vessel. This containment vessel is reinforced by passing a current of 10,000 Amperes through it, resulting in high reflectivity and thermal tolerance.

On the “back” side of the osculum, we bathe it in a concentrated liquid cardamine solution. This provides both nutrients and a fuel source for the organ, as it can extract hydrogen from the solution for fusion. Electrodes embedded within the retaining brackets stimulate the osculum to produce the fusion reaction.

High energy photons and fusion products are emitted from the osculum’s orifice, proceeding down the exhaust channel. Lining the walls of that channel are sets of crystals. These are arranged in series, with a ring of Type A crystals followed by a ring of Type B crystals. The Type-A energizer crystals absorb and reemit low wavelength light emitted by the fusion reaction, with geometry of the crystal directing the light into the section set of Accelerators cut from Type-B crystals. These Accelerators induce a sharp Higgs field gradient within the exhaust channel, further accelerating the fusion products.

If the design performs according to expectations, we hope to achieve a specific impulse above 10,000 seconds, and a sustained operation time of several hours.
