It may be possible to generate high power / high frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) by high frequency accelerated axial rotation (spin) and/or accelerated high frequency vibration of an electrically charged, possibly asymmetric structure, within the context of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, namely far-from-equilibrium physics, highly non-linear in nature. The structure which is the HFGW generator (HFGWG), has the ability to control the accelerated modes of vibration and spin of its electrically charged surfaces, in particular the rapid rates of change of accelerated-decelerated-accelerated vibration and/or accelerated-decelerated-accelerated gyration (axial spin) of these electrified surfaces, in this manner delaying the onset of relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium, thus generating a physical mechanism which may induce anomalous effects.

This paper deals with a thrust generation method which can be applied to nuclear as well as chemical propulsion systems. It takes into consideration both incompressible and compress-ible flow cases, however both of these cases are based on one dimensional flow within an ideal rocket framework. In the case of constant area duct steady state flow the obtained Induced Thrust (IT) formula is: where p1 and p2 are opposing pressure fields and u* is a function of u2, p2 and u1 (u1 and u2 being opposing gas efflux velocities). For the compressible and incompressible flow fields, IT formulas are obtained but they are not as reliable. One feasible application for this launch-propulsion method is the Joined-Ship model. In this model the combustion chamber pressure within one space vehicle acts as the back pressure of the joined space vehicle and vice-versa.
