The Introduction of a Breakthrough in Advanced Interstellar Space Propulsion

Interstellar Rule



A Unique Design for Future Interstellar Space Transportation

The following image represents the OVAL interstellar space transportation system. The graphic is a greatly simplified representation which mearly defines the general components, layout and design, with only a brief description of the role of each component. The main goal is to introduce a new concept in propulsion and the manner in which it differs from rocket technology and present designs for interstellar travel. The links at the bottom will get into a more technical explanation of the specific propulsion system employed, how the energy requirements are met, and of course the theoretical basis for this design.

The graphic below is like a kind of active blueprint; by moving the mouse cursor over the colored blue panel above the vehicle, specific components of its construction will be highlighted.



Two articles which are an excellent technical summary of the problems facing interstellar propulsion and the possible solutions being researched.

By clicking any red area on the control panel a new page will open with information more specific to the highlighted component. How each of these components function and their relationships to one another is discussed in the explanation.

Immediatly apparent are some unusual features which make this starship very different from present forms of space propulsion.



  • A streamlined shape with no fins, wings, or sharp protrusions
  • No large intakes nor exhausts are visible
  • No engines or sources of propulsion are obvious
  • Overall there is a beauty and organic simplicity to the design


Not apparent from the graphic but covered in the textual explanation are further remarkable characteristics of this design.



  • No propellant is required
  • Exterior can be made completely conducting and apparently seemless
  • Percentage of payload mass to overall vehicle mass and volume is high
  • Components serve structural and functional purposes
  • Propulsion system runs essentially clean, quiet and vibration free

Understanding Light
If you want to travel as fast as possible through space,
you have to have a vehicle that behaves like light.


Following the links from the active blueprint image will only give a general overview of the overall design and required components Although outwardly simple in design, this propulsion system deals with numerous interrelated principles and parts all working together as a harmonious whole. In fact, some components serve two or three seperate and distinct functions. The five parts of the explanation of this revolutionary interstellar propulsion will provide an overview of these complex interactions and how they provide propulsion.



I must make it clear at this point the actual implementation and construction of these type of space systems will require the combined effort of numerous individuals with a strong desire to begin a new exploration of space. Why? Check out these links!
