Patent abstract
The present invention is a spacecraft electromagnetic propulsion system which provides thrust without expelling propellant. The system includes a multi-element capacitor with rotating segmented cathodes, and electromagnetic coils for generating magnetic fields. Interactions between the electromagnetic fields and the rotating charged capacitor elements produce unidirectional forces, while reaction momentum is carried away by the Poynting Vector fields in conformity with the currently understood principles of modern physics.
