Look up thruster in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A thruster is a small propulsive device used by spacecraft and watercraft for station keeping, attitude control, or long duration low thrust acceleration. im bored
Spacecraft thrusters
- Electrohydrodynamic thruster, using ionized air (only for use in an atmosphere)
- Electrostatic ion thruster, using high-voltage electrodes
- Hall effect thruster, type of ion thruster
- Ion thruster, beams of ions accelerated electrically
- Magnetoplasmadynamic thruster, electric propulsion using the Lorentz force
- Electrodeless plasma thruster, electric propulsion using ponderomotive force
- Pulsed inductive thruster, a pulsed form of ion thruster
- Pulsed plasma thruster, current arced across a solid propellant
Marine thrusters
- Azimuth thruster, pod underneath a ship, instead of a propeller and rudder
- Bow thruster, on the bow of a ship
Others
- Thruster (surfing) is a surfboard fin design
- Shkadov thruster, hypothetical megascale reaction for moving a star
- Hurrying, also called 'coal thrusting', a 19th century profession
