Other workers have replaced the glass plate with a liquid film for industrial applications [20 This
change brought with it three benefits: operation in closer contact with the bulk of our static test
data (which is pulsed data), operation at a higher peak power Laser-driven micro-rocket

We developed a new type of orientation thruster for micro- and nanosatellites. the small viscous
forces due to the contacts moving in the liquid mercury serve to The micro-LPT is potentially
competitive with the micro-Pulsed Plasma Thruster [micro-PPT] on TechSat21 and similar
