[UNSDB] Re: Could use some help with this question here...

that hits it about right guys. a therie i have been toying with for some time was protoculure. like in genesis climber they always refule the mecha with protoculture canisters. i think MABY that the early mecha didnt use as much protoculture as the newer mecha. that theorie might be more ROBOTECH influenced but what can you say with the lack of macross stuff in the US u cant help but resort to Robotech. this is just a presonal therie that is probably flawed so dont burn me too bad guys :P

>You had it kinda right, Burn. The Valkyiries use a nuclear reactor to heat some kind of reactant mass and expell it at incredibly high pressure. NASA's been working on something kinda like that for decades, but with the anti-nuclear hype in the U.S. they've been unable to get it off the ground. (The only prototype that I know of is now a museum peice sitting in the "Rocket Park" of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama. There might be others if you wanna check)
>In space, obviously they would use whatever matterial they've got stored in their fuel tanks (Hence the extra propellant in the FAST pack add-ons) In an atmosphere, though, they proably get most of the heated matterial for the thrust from the air sucked into the turobjets, which would explain why Valkyries seem to have virutally unlimited range in an atmosphere.
>As to just what this propellant matterial actually is, no one is totally sure. It's most likely derived from a matterial they found on SDF-1 that expands ALOT when heated to high temperatures. I imagine the reaction warheads were probably designed the same way.
