Where Can I Find Detailed Resources on Microwave Propulsion and APS?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking detailed resources about microwave propulsion and vision systems utilizing Active Pixel Sensors (APS) for real-time video in space systems. Participants express confusion about the connection between propulsion technologies and vision systems. Suggestions include a Wikipedia article on laser propulsion, but clarity is needed on whether the two topics are related or separate inquiries. The original poster is looking for comprehensive books, courses, or links to deepen their understanding of both microwave propulsion and APS technologies. Overall, the conversation highlights a need for more in-depth resources in these specialized fields.

Recently I watched some paper about new propulsion technologies focused in Light e.g Laser and Microwave, so I'd like to know where can I obtain deep information about the subjet, due, papers found it at the internet just describe bit information. I'm interesting mainly in microwave propulsion and vision systems using APS -Active Pixel Sensor - for real time video space systems.

Thera are any book, course, link, etc., to study on this field?

I'm not following - what do propulsion and video have to do with each other?

Here's a wikipedia.org article on laser propulsion:

And like Russ, I don't get the "vision systems" part of your question. Is that a separate question?
 
Well, I apologize by the confusion, so, what are you apointing, there are two questions typed in me previous email:
1.- Microwave propulsion or electric propulsion
2.- Vision systems using APS or new trends and/or technologies different of CCDs technology.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
