    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reinforced bulging tank of a launch vehicle and a manufacturing method therefor. The tank is made of metal material with good plasticity. Firstly, the tank is manufactured by welding annealed plastic metal materials, wherein internal longitudinal reinforcing ribs and internal annular frames/annular plates of barrel sections are welded with a barrel section shell by a low energy laser welding method, and tank bottoms are progressively welded by a plurality of conical sections. Weldments are strengthened and formed through internal pressure bulging under the constraint of external tooling. The outer walls of the barrel sections are not radially deformed under the constraint of a plurality of small width metal rings, and the metal rings are not connected to each other axially. The strength of the materials can be greatly improved by a deep cooling bulging technology.

    Abstract: According to one contemplated embodiment of the rocket engine invention, water is first pumped from a water tank through a rocket nozzle cooling heat exchanger wherein it is evaporated into said superheated steam. A generator supplies electricity to an electrolyzer that electrolyzes superheated steam into gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen. The gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen is employed for forming an annular curtain of secondary combustion in a divergent rocket engine. The secondary combustion gas surrounds a central thrust of combustion gas produced in an upstream combustion chamber by a primary injection of hydrogen/oxygen supplied from a liquid hydrogen tank and liquid oxygen tank. The rocket liquid hydrogen tank and liquid oxygen tank are pressurized by gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen generated by the electrolyzer.

    Abstract: A device for expelling/containing a predetermined liquid. The device configured to be built into a liquid tank operable at low or zero gravity and comprising a unitary three-dimensional sponge structure. The sponge structure comprises a set of substantially wire-like elements that extend between a peripheral area of the sponge structure and an area for expelling/containing liquid. The wire-like elements are substantially oriented in the direction of flow of the fluid within the device. The wire-like elements are connected together by crosspieces and are arranged such that the capillary gradient is positive or zero in the direction of flow of the fluid from the peripheral area to the area for expelling/containing liquid.
