Abstract
Working gas for an electron beam discharge laser is generated by an airbreathing, hydrocarbon fuel burning, turbocompressor engine and shaft power of the engine may be utilized to drive a generator to provide electric power to the laser or to drive a compressor to put the turbocompressor exhaust gases in compressed storage for later use in the laser, either mode affording savings in weight and cost of operating materials and/or specific energy conversion efficiency compared to prior art, electric, chemical and gas dynamic laser systems.
