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 ...

TALLINN, Estonia—As strong demand for engine quick-turn services and hospital shop visits continues, Estonia-based Magnetic Group is actively looking to build a larger engine shop at its Tallinn home ...

Helicon plasma propulsion represents a promising and multifaceted approach in the domain of electric space propulsion. At its core, the technology utilises helicon waves to generate high-density ...

There have been some laboratory experiments and theoretical work done to validate aspects of the plasma magnet propulsion concept. The Plasma Magnet is a wind drag device invented almost twenty years ...

Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons.

Magnetic Engines has converted a CFM International CFM56-5B engine from a double annular combustor configuration to the original single annular combustor version as one of several special projects ...

Plasma engines could be the future of human space travel, and Russia’s “manetoplasma rockets” have the most ambitious travel goals ...

Space has a trash problem, with defunct satellites, rockets, and smaller broken bits orbiting the Earth at high speeds. The amount of space junk is only increasing, raising the risk of collision with ...
