DUAL-BRANCH ARCHITECTURE
Two branches, one chamber, one measurement.
This revision splits the drive chain into two independent branches — an RF/"oxidizer-side" branch and a DC/"fuel-side" branch — that converge at the test chamber, echoing how a full-flow staged-combustion engine feeds two pre-burners into one combustion chamber. Cooling, closed-loop control, and vacuum staging are modelled as separate systems rather than folded into the drive chain.
Read this as an analogy, not a thermodynamic equivalence. Full-flow staged combustion is a
chemical-propulsion cycle that burns real propellant mass and expels it — that's where its thrust
comes from. NOAH-QPS has no propellant expulsion; if it produces a force at all, the mechanism would
have to be something else entirely, and that's exactly what the instrumented ΔF protocol from the
earlier PoC documents is meant to test for, not assume.
3D assembly — corrected dual-branch model
Rendered with three.js. Branch A (RF/O₂ analogue) runs along one rail, Branch B (DC/CH₄ analogue) along the other, both feeding the chamber.
