초록 ▼

A gas gun launcher has a pump tube and a launch tube with a first end of the launch tube slidably inserted into a second end of the pump tube. The pump tube may hold a heat exchanger to heat a light gas used to launch a vehicle. A sliding seal can be employed to manage recoil and to retain the gas within the launch tube and the pump tube. A fast-closing muffler at the second end of the launch tube can conserve the light gas utilized for launching a vehicle, enabling the light gas to be recycled. A launch tube alignment system is preferably automatic, ensuring the survival of the launch vehicle.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A gas gun launcher for launching a vehicle into space, which comprises: a launch tube having a first end and a second end;a pump tube defining a chamber, wherein the chamber has a size sufficient to contain a total volume of heated light gas used to launch the vehicle from the gas gun launcher;a high-speed opening valve at the first end of said launch tube and in fluid communication with a heat exchanger to receive heated light gas from the heat exchanger;a closure at the second end of the launch tube, the closure including a fast-closing valve configured so that the light gas drives the fast-closing valve to a shut position at launch; anda light gas recycling system for recycling the light gas from the launch tube. 2. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1 wherein the fast-closing valve comprises a door for sealingly closing the gas gun launcher, and wherein the door is rotatably connected so that the door is closed by the light gas behind the vehicle during launch. 3. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1 wherein the fast-closing valve comprises a ball with a diameter larger than an inner diameter of the valve and positioned so that the light gas behind the vehicle pushes the ball to sealingly close the inner diameter during launch. 4. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1, wherein the launch tube is mounted statically to ground. 5. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1 wherein the pump tube is movable and has a sliding seal between the pump tube and the launch tube. 6. A gas gun launcher according to claim 5 wherein the pump tube is attached to a shock absorber. 7. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1, wherein the high-speed opening valve is configured to control admission of the light gas to the first end of the launch tube as the valve opens so that the light gas is initially below a peak pressure at the vehicle as the vehicle moves from the first end of the launch tube and toward the second end of the launch tube, said valve sealing against a seat. 8. A gas gun launcher according to claim 7 wherein the high-speed opening valve has a brake configured to provide a retaining force against the high-speed opening valve to hold the high-speed opening valve closed against pressure applied to the high-speed opening valve by the light gas. 9. A gas gun launcher according to claim 7 wherein the high-speed opening valve has a shape and a mass such that the light gas is initially below said peak pressure at the vehicle as the vehicle moves from the first end of the launch tube and toward the second end of the launch tube. 10. A gas gun launcher according to claim 9 wherein said high-speed opening valve's shape and mass are such that the light gas is at a peak pressure at the vehicle once said vehicle reaches a distance beyond about a third of a length of the launch tube during launch. 11. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1 wherein the light gas consists essentially of hydrogen. 12. A gas gun launcher according to claim 1 and further comprising an automatic launch tube alignment system configured to straighten the launch tube. 13. A gas gun launcher for launching a vehicle into space, which comprises: a launch tube having a first end and a second end;a movable pump tube defining a chamber, wherein the chamber has a size sufficient to contain a total volume of heated light gas used to launch the vehicle from the gas gun launcher, the movable pump tube being movable relative to the launch tube;a high-speed opening valve at the first end of said launch tube and in fluid communication with a heat exchanger to receive heated light gas from a heat exchanger; anda recoil absorber for at least one end of the launch tube. 14. A gas gun launcher according to claim 13 wherein the recoil absorber enables relative movement of the movable pump tube at the first end of the launch tube. 15. A gas gun launcher according to claim 14 wherein the movable pump tube is connected to the first end of the launch tube by a slidable seal. 16. A gas gun launcher according to claim 14 wherein the recoil absorber further comprises a movable muffler at the second end of the launch tube. 17. A gas gun launcher according to claim 13 wherein the recoil absorber comprises a movable muffler at the second end of the launch tube. 18. A gas gun launcher according to claim 17 wherein the movable muffler is connected to the second end of the launch tube by a slidable seal.
