IGF::OT::IGF TIPPING POINT TECHNOLOGIES - "HYDROS THRUSTER" HYDROS IS A NOVEL PROPULSION SYSTEM THAT USES A HYBRID ELECTRICAL/CHEMICAL SCHEME TO PROVIDE HIGH THRUST (1N) AND HIGH ISP WITH A SAFE, NONTOXIC, NON-EXPLOSIVE, NONPRESSURIZED PROPELLANT WATER. THIS PROJECT WILL USE ELECTROLYSIS TO SPLIT WATER PROPELLANT INTO GASEOUS HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN, BURNING HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN IN A SIMPLE BIPROPELLANT THRUSTER AND OPTIMIZING THE SYSTEM FOR CUBESAT AND MICROSAT APPLICATIONS.
