1.Introduction
A rocket engine, or simply "rocket", is a jet engine that uses only stored propellant mass for forming its high speed propulsive jet. Rocket engines are reaction engines and obtain thrust in accordance with Newton's third law. Since they need no external material to form their jet, rocket engines can be used for spacecraft propulsion as well as terrestrial uses, such as missiles.Rocket engines as a group have the highest exhaust velocities, are by far the lightest, but are the least propellant efficient of all types of jet engines.
2.Need of Plasma Arc Propulsion
We identify that most of the propulsion process comes under liquid and solid propulsion, but never been implemented on magnet or solar saving fuel systems. Usually solid and liquid propellant produces high thrust, but the problem of solid and liquid propellant is high cost and produce environment effect. In that time very high thrust can be produced by the magnetic plasma arc propulsion system and also it should not affect an environment because inert gases are used in this system. In these system an electromagnetic fields are accelerates the positive and negative charged particles (Plasma) to a very high velocity.
3.Modeling Process
Electromagnetic plasma arc propulsion an advanced modeling apart from the solid and liquid propellant. The propulsion systems were designed according to the same principle of solid and liquid propellant. Most of the rocket engine, the solid has gradient and the liquid has oxidizer and fuel tanks, but the Electromagnetic plasma arc propulsion works on the principle of magnetic principle were coils are made surrounded in Quartz Tube and fuel are converted to energy and and release the plasma arc. We look the studies of ...

MagLev technology is entirely different from any form of transportation in operation today, but the basic principles that lie at the foundation are not beyond the understanding of the beginning electricity and magnetism student. It is in the application of these principles to design and optimize an actual train that things get hairy. The basic idea has been researched since the mid-sixties, but it is only now that economically feasible prototypes are being built and governments are seriously looking towards magnets to propel us into the next century. Leading the race is Germany. Their design, the Transrapid 07, is ready for commercial production. It utilizes conventional electromagnets and forces of attraction to levitate the train. A good web site to find out more about German plans for their design is http://transrapid.simplenet.com/index-e.htm

Maglev, short for magnetic levitation, is a new system being used in the design of train railways. These maglev trains are using electromagnetically-driven systems to achieve high –speed transportation. These trains move through electromagnetic propulsion, levitating over a guideway.
We as humans have always been fascinated with the unknown.� We seek to conquer every frontier.� Today, the final frontier is space.� So, many people are very interested in rockets, the vehicle for conquering the final frontier.� Most people have a general idea of how rockets work, but very few have an understanding of the physics behind their flight, which scientists spent many years perfecting.
Rocketry, the use of rocket power as a propulsion mechanism, has changed the boundaries of man’s domain.Before the advent of efficient rocket power, space flight was seen as an impossibility and exclusively the subject of science fiction stories.The nature of rocket power changed in the early twentieth century when a man named Robert Hutchings Goddard focused his research and his entire life on efficient rocket propulsion.Rocket power had been thought of long before Goddard’s time, but he was the first to have success with it.
Von Braun, Wernher & Fredrick I. Ordway III. History of Rocketry & Space Travel. (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1975
From early childhood rockets, a V-2 rocket, and America’s first orbital satellite, Wernher von Braun’s life inventions really made an impact on history after the completion and success of the Saturn V “moon rocket” that carried man to space and then eventually to the moon with a various string of Apollo Missions. There would be an outstanding amount of components both electrical and mechanical that would be needed to bring together a dream that von Braun had long sought for. This dream invention of his would focus on carrying three astronauts, be comprised of 3 rocket booster stages, lifted initially by the thrust of five F-1 rocket engines, and need a number of things to happen in sequence.

For a rocket to fly in the air it needs thrust and thrust has to use fuel. There are different types of fuel a rocket can use, there is solid and liquid fuel. They are known to be the most used and easy to use. Solid fuel never stops burning, once it starts the burning does not stop. Solid fuel can only burn for two minutes and can easily evaporate at normal temperatures. Since it can’t stop burning and is easily evaporated it is used in missiles, commercial rocket and wood stoves. Liquid fuel can be used on space travels and missions. This type of fuel is best used for space travel for the reason that it is long lasting. Liquid fuel other than the solid fuel can
In this day and age with oil prices rising and the recession hitting everyone, more people are looking for more ways to save on cost of the most used items. Electricity is the most common and used item people use in everyday life, but what they do not know is that there is a simpler way to produce electricity with magnets. How do magnets produce electricity? Why not use magnets to produce all electricity? These questions are common in people that research different avenues to provide electricity without having to spend a fortune on other renewable energy sources. Magnets and all their uniqueness is the key to the future discoveries and creation of new machines that produce electricity without using fossil fuels.
Ion and plasma drive are very similar they work electrically accelerating ions or plasma to provide thrust. The speed of the rocket is slow but it would run for much longer time than the nuclear chemical rockets (Tate, 2013).
This hopefully adds some insight into the use of electric motors, and the principals of them that make these motors work. Such as electromagnetism, binary switches for DC motors, and the selection of a running frequency of a motor through the use of an oscillator.
Electrical motors play an important role in today’s society, from powering domestic appliances like blenders to industrial equipment such as trains. It almost seems impossible to not use an electric motor in our daily lives. In the comfort of our home, electric motors will operate fans, refrigerators, and air conditioners to just name a few. Researchers are constantly looking for new ways to incorporate electrical motors in our lives.
