封闭漂移推力器进行审查。关于这些推进器的出版物构成了大量的信息。因此，这篇文章只能包括封闭漂移推力器最突出的理论和实验特征。在某些方面，这篇文章也是一个尝试的综合不同的看法，这些推进器在文献中发现，以及在我们自己的工作。在一个封闭的漂移推进器中，加速离子的电场是由穿过磁场并受到磁场阻碍的电子流建立的。在这个磁场中的旋进电子遵循一个封闭的漂移路径，使这个推进器的名字。封闭漂移推力器分为磁层和阳极层类型，基于两种类型的放电通道的几何和材料差异，以及放电等离子体中发生的不同物理过程。作为一个整体来考虑，关于封闭漂移推进器的出版物构成了一个令人印象深刻的信息体系，其中大部分是在俄罗斯独立于美国对电推进器的研究而产生的。
Closed drift thrusters are reviewed. The publications on these thrusters constitute a large body of information. This article can therefore include only the most prominent theoretical and experimental features of closed drift thrusters. In some regards, this article is also an attempted synthesis of the differing views of these thrusters found in literature, as well as in our own work. In a closed drift thruster, the electric field that accelerates the ions is established by an electron current that passes through and is impeded by a magnetic field. The precessing electrons in this magnetic field follow a closed drift path giving this thruster its name. Closed drift thrusters are divided into magnetic layer and anode layer types, based both on the geometrical and material differences in the discharge channels of the two types, and on the different physical processes that take place within the discharge plasma. Considered as a whole, the publications on closed drift thrusters constitute an impressive body of information that, for the most part, was generated in Russia independently of US research on electric thrusters.
