Désignations

français
  • système SEMP (correct,proposal,masculine noun)
anglais
  • superconducting electromagnetic propulsion system (correct)

    CONT: SEMP thrusters are made up of superconducting magnets wrapped around ducts in the hull of Yamato 1. Electrodes pass a current through the seawater as it is drawn into the front of the ducts. The magnets, cooled at -269° C, then punch a huge magnetic force into the water. The resulting ""Lorentz force"" causes the water to squirt through the rear of the ducts to propel the ship along.

  • SEMP system abrév. (correct)

Codes : pays ou zone où la désignation a cours (CH, FR, DE, EU = Union européenne, INT = usage international). Une désignation barrée est déconseillée.

Définitions

anglais
A futuristic power system installed on a Japanese experimental ship (Yamato 1). It can achieve only six knots, which is a long way from catching the 40-knots-plus jetfoils. But it is as remarkable as the first steam-ship: it has no paddles, propellers or jet-driver. Actually, it has no mechanical power-transmission system at all. But it relies on the ""Lorentz force"" - i.e. a thrust that is generated when a magnetic force is applied vertically into the water and an electric current discharged horizontally across its path.
