Since the subject of turbopump alternatives comes up fairly regularly
the following recent (and interesting) paper might be of interest: Knight, Andrew, "Designing and Testing a Lighter, Simpler, Less- Expensive Liquid Propellant Pump", Journal of Propulsion and Power, Vol. 20, No. 1, Jan-Feb, 2004. The pump he describes seems remarkably similar, in appearance at least, to the Comprex supercharger. The author, Andrew Knight, identifies himself as the proprietor of Andrew Knight Space Propulsion. A Google search didn't turn up any additional information. If you can't find a copy of the paper you can look up his patent # 6,499,288 online. Does anyone have any additional information or opinions about Mr. Knight and his pump? Jim Davis |
