The new Russian rocket engine achieves higher acceleration than chemical rockets by using magnetic plasma accelerators, allowing for speeds of up to 100 km/s.

XI'AN, March 10 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese research team announced Monday that a space thruster has achieved full-power operation. The 100 kW high-thrust magnetoplasmadynamic thruster they tested is poised ...

Scientists started exploring gravitic propulsion back in the 1920s through wild experiments with high-voltage capacitors and ...

Electromagnetic acceleration ... Lubin recently wrote in a paper about the technology. Creating such a propulsion system would entail “using a very intense light source to accelerate matter ...

system that combines vacuum tube technology with electromagnetic propulsion. Unlike conventional rail, maglev trains eliminate friction by floating above the tracks using powerful magnets.

The engine is a plasma propulsion system, working by ionizing the propellant to create plasma, which is then accelerated by an electromagnetic field to form a high-speed particle stream ...
