| 11. | So, what is lost is the work done by radiation pressure.
|
| 12. | Radiation is the working fluid, and the piston is driven by radiation pressure.
|
| 13. | Finally, other forces such as radiation pressure and collisions also result in drifts.
|
| 14. | While rather small in comparison to other forces, the radiation pressure force is inexorable.
|
| 15. | "' Radiation pressure "'is the pressure exerted upon any surface exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
|
| 16. | The articles on radiation pressure and solar sail should contain more information about that.
|
| 17. | :Moreover, radiation pressure is a classical effect of electrodynamics that doesn't even require photons.
|
| 18. | Solar radiation pressure is exerted by solar radiation on objects within the solar system.
|
| 19. | If the luminosity exceeds the Eddington limit, then the radiation pressure drives an outflow.
|
| 20. | Solar sails use radiation pressure in a way to achieve a desired propulsive force.
