Schick engine: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:31, 1 April 2009

Schick engine (or Schick ship) is an orthogonal c/2 spaceship that was found by Paul Schick in 1972. Alternatively, it may refer just to the tagalong (displayed in green) that is attached to the back of the two lightweight spaceships. The tagalong may also be attached to the back of two middleweight spaceships, two heavyweight spaceships, or a lightweight spaceship and a heavyweight spaceship.

Its rear spark can be perturbed by other c/2 spaceships to form a variety of puffers and thus it is a puffer engine.
