Patent abstract
The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for electromagnetic spacecraft propulsion. The apparatus includes capacitor assemblies bracketed by electromagnetic solenoids configured in Helmholtz Coil geometries. The action of magnetic fields generated in the solenoids on segmented currents in conductive discharge elements during capacitor discharge produces unidirectional forces, while reaction momentum is carried away by Poynting Vector electromagnetic fields in conformity with the currently understood principles of electrodynamics.
