The FireStar Drive harnesses the power of nuclear fusion to improve the performance of RocketStar’s “water-fueled pulsed plasma thruster.” A spacecraft’s thrusters perform various functions, including ...

This breakdown and build of a simple plasma thruster should help you on your way. All you really need is some Argon, a large capacitor bank, and a custom nozzle. You’ve already got most of that ...

When [Jay Bowles] demoed his first-generation ion thruster on Plasma Channel, the resulting video picked up millions of views and got hobbyists and professionals alike talking. While ionic lifters ...

The plasma generated isn’t very different from the one used in fusion nuclear reactors, which operate at temperatures as high ...

If there’s anything that came from one of the worlds that was promised to us in "Back to the Future" or "The Jetsons" or ...

Space startup Exodus Propulsion Technologies claims to have achieved a breakthrough, stumbling upon an entirely new force of nature that could power thrusters that don't need propellant to work.

Plasmas for fusion research can be heated using neutral beam injection (NBI). With NBI, fast neutral particles from a beam ...

Dr. King is an experimentalist interested in studying electric space propulsion systems, including Hall-effect thrusters, ion engines, and arcjets. By utilizing strong electromagnetic forces to ...

Don’t get stuck with an unsafe boat needing costly repairs. Insure your 1985 Mercury THRUSTER TM PLUS for just $100/year*. More freedom: You’re covered on all lakes, rivers and oceans within 75 miles ...

In the worst-case scenario, if the Starliner loses all its thrusters, the spacecraft could become lost in space along with the astronauts. This would be a dire situation with limited options for ...

The vessel's return to Earth had already been delayed because of issues with some of its thrusters and leaks of the helium gas which pushes fuel into the propulsion system. Nasa is carrying out a ...
