SUMMARY:Turbine Rocket Experimental (TReX) Spaceship - An Answer to SpaceX Superheavy-Starship
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues and Students\, \nYou are cordially invited to join the upcoming seminar on “Turbine Rocket Experimental (TReX) Spaceship – An Answer to SpaceX Superheavy-Starship”. Please find the details below. \nDate: 30 September 2024 (Monday)\nTime: 11:00 am – 12:00 noon (HKT)\nVenue: Room 603\, 6/F\, Chow Yei Ching Building\, The University of Hong Kong\nZoom: https://hku.zoom.us/j/93424497472?pwd=caVqiD02btCx1qdnHdVoSZERVHGT95.1 \nSpeaker: Prof. Joseph Y Hui\nArizona State University \nModerators: Prof. Victor OK Li & Prof. Jacqueline CK Lam\nDirector & Co-director\,\nHKU-Cambridge AI-WiSe \nAbstract:\nWe present a low cost reusable 2-stage rockets 1/100th the size of SpaceX Superheavy Starship. TReX Spaceship uses atmospheric oxygen for takeoff by Hydrogen Gas Turbine Generator and level flight by TReX Ramjet. Above 50 km\, GOH (gaseous-oxygen-hydrogen) rocket engines bring Spaceship to orbit. 20 persons can travel from Hong Kong to New York City in 2 hours\, mostly in Space at Mach-6 speed. No airport\, flight schedule or check-in are necessary with ride-sharing. We bring 10 tons of payload to low earth orbit by a 2-stage rocket at $100/kg. 2nd-stage rocket is reusable with fast turnaround. Key advances are: use high pressure gaseous propellants and atmospheric air. Our TReX engines are 1/100 smaller than SpaceX Raptor engines. TReX will beat Raptor for a better\, safer\, and cheaper ride to Space. \nBiography of the Speaker:\nJoseph Hui matriculated 1977 and won the IIE scholarship to attend MIT\, where he earned his BS’81\, MS’81\, EE’82\, and PhD’83 in Electrical Engineering. He worked at Bell Labs\, Bellcore\, Comsat\, and IBM before he joined academia 1989 at Rutgers University where he became Full Professor in 1996 and IEEE Fellow 1997. He has taught at Columbia University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, before joining Arizona State University as ISS Chair Professor until 2015 as Professor Emeritus. He works on the 3E’s of Energy\, Environment\, and Education\, focusing on global carbon neutrality by 2050 hydrogen gas turbines. His AWESOME inventions include clean Air\, Water\, Energy\, and safe travel by Space\, Ocean\, Maglev\, and Electric-aviation as described in the Awesome Solarman YouTube Channel. \nLooking forward to welcoming you at the seminar next Monday. \nBest Regards\,\nVictor OK Li & Jacqueline CK Lam\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
