    Abstract: According to one aspect, an apparatus and method for electrically igniting and throttling pyroelectric propellant, e.g., in a rocket engine, are provided. In one example, an apparatus includes an injector body for supplying an electrically ignitable propellant to a combustion chamber and a opposing electrodes. A first electrode may be included with the injector body and a second electrode positioned relative to the first electrode to cause ignition of the electrically ignitable propellant as the electrically ignitable propellant flows thereby.

    Abstract: Apparatus for providing electrically initiated and/or controlled combustion of electrically ignitable propellants is provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a volume of electrically ignitable propellant (liquid and/or gas) capable of self sustaining combustion, and electrodes operable to ignite the propellant. The apparatus may further include a power supply and controller in electrical communication with the electrodes for supplying a potential across the electrodes to initiate combustion of the propellant and/or control the rate of combustion of the propellant. Various configurations and geometries of the propellant, electrodes, and apparatus are possible. In one example, the electrodes are supplied a direct current, which causes combustion of the propellant at the positive electrode. In another example, the electrodes are supplied an alternating current, which initiates combustion of the propellant at both electrodes.
