Looking back through the archives, we actually haven’t seen much in the way of homebrew magnetohydrodynamic drives (MHDs) — which is somewhat surprising, as the core concept isn’t nearly as ...

HRL Laboratories, LLC has demonstrated proof-of-concept on a unique approach to achieve a silent pumping system that replaces traditional mechanical moving parts with an electric current and a ...

There were a studies published in 2006 and 2008 that looked at making a fusion rocket using dense plasma focus and air-breathing MHD propulsion. These system proposals would work even if Lawrenceville ...

Solar eruptions are well-recognized as major drivers of space weather but what causes them remains an open question. Here we show how an eruption is initiated in a non-potential magnetic flux-emerging ...

* 300,000 m/s is possible with hydrogen. Using hydrogen propellent and a high quality nuclear reactor a Vasimr could reach 0.1% of lightspeed. The 39 day mission to Mars using VASIMR propulsion takes ...

Tokamak Energy, a nuclear fusion firm based at Milton Park, Oxfordshire, has been contracted to provide magnet technology for an undersea propulsion project in the US. Launched in 2023 by DARPA, the ...

A breakthrough in laser propeller efficiency by Chinese scientists could transform underwater watercraft propulsion. SCMP reported that the experts have improved laser propeller efficiency, which ...
