Recycling electrical power on project dedalus?
Over the weekend I was reading some sites associated with our British
Interplanetary Societys Project Dedalus. It seems to be for the moment the only practical proposition to get a payload to another system in a realistic time frame. Anyhow, on some of the sites concerning the engine, was a discription to have around the rocket nozzel bell end an O ring of like a cathode, so the probe can recycle some current/electrocity via the plasma exhaust plume. Can they do that, and do you get much electricity via it? It sounds like a good idea and it could be used on a VASIMR type rocket to get some payback from the amount of electricity the ship would use to generate a plasma exhaust.

The latest issue of Spaceflight is advertising "Project Daedalus" on CD with added colour pictures. £15 or US$30 plus postage. No mention of online ordering but the website at http://www.bis-spaceflight.com/ does have a section for sales, but it's unusable without Javascript.

Just had a look on the bis site and can't any mention of that Project Dedalus cd in the for sale section. Christopher +++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it."
