Quicksilver use as the fuel of the rocket

Quicksilver can use as a propellant in electrochemical rocket motors like ion motors is possible.

Using quicksilver as the fuel seems a very big mystery. The thing that some spacecraft would use quicksilver as the propellant is connected to ion motors, what might be planned to shoot quicksilver ions thought the accelerator track, and the magnetic accelerator would increase their speed in very high level, and the ion rocket specific impulse can be extremely high.

The thing why the specific impulse, what means the speed, what the rocket motor accelerates exhaust gas is important is that the spacecraft cannot move faster than it's exhaust gas. Normal particle accelerator could give the spacecraft the speed, which is near the speed of the light if the used energy is high enough.

And if we would use about 40 kilometers long linear accelerator what kicks ions backward, and connect that thing to ion motor. The speed of the spacecraft would increase to the same level as the antimatter rocket. 

But this version needs only the normal nuclear reactor, that it would accelerate the normal ions or vaporized metal to backward with very high speed. But when we are thinking about the quicksilver as a fuel, we might think that the quicksilver is used in some kind of electric generator.

Quicksilver can use as a liquid rotor in high power generators. The accelerator would drive that component faster, than any kinetic materials in the rotating mass, what turns the magnetic field to electric power.

If we would want to make the spacecraft, what operates with high voltage electrick phenomenon we would think that at first the small generators, what might be connected to the high-voltage capacitors would load the capacitors. Then the quicksilver, what is in the circular tube would start to rotate by using the magnetic accelerators.

The purpose of quicksilver in this solution would act as the rotor of the bigger generator, and the output of the electric generator depends on the speed of the rotor. Of course, any magnetized liquid, like water, where is iron crystals or ions can make the same thing with quicksilver.

In this case, the quicksilver or other material operates as the rotor, and it would rotate between stators. When we are thinking about the speed of liquid quicksilver, the engine can rotate it faster than the normal rotor, and that would make possible to create very high power electric arc in the chamber.

This system would not be a perpetual motion machine, because it would get extended energy. Another way to make this kind of generator without quicksilver is just to put little iron crystals in water, and then the magnets would start to accelerate that liquid in the tube.

If we would think about things that some generator would use liquid or gas rotor, we must remember that also ions can operate as the rotor in the generator. The system needs, of course, outer power source, but it would make possible to create a generator, where the rotor rotates even with speed of light. And that would be useful in many aircraft or spacecraft, which needs high voltage systems for flying.
