Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early ...

Plasma sail propulsion based on the plasma magnet is a unique system that taps the ambient energy of the solar wind with minimal energy and mass requirements. The drive itself consists of a pair of ...

Abstract: Magnet pattern is a solution to address the challenge of enhancing the electromagnetic performance of electric propulsion machines. In this article, a novel variable magnetic pole topology ...

The flyby occurred during the maximum peak solar wind intensity in that entire eight-month period," said space plasma physicist Jamie Jasinski of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, lead author of ...

It was a controversial model when it first came out but the Nissan Juke has blossomed. It can now be argued that this ...

Nuclear fusion has yet to become a practical energy source, despite its promise of abundant, clean power with minimal waste.

Propulsion pods are not a new product, but a new configuration of traditional marine systems and components. As yet, studies have not shown whether pods are more efficient than conventional shaft ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has received designs for a Nuclear-Electric Propulsion (NEP) spacecraft, serving as a roadmap for the planned launch of its first mission in 2035. Called RocketRoll ...
