The miniscule thrust provided by the Hall Effect thrusters is fine for this purpose, applied over a long period for a significant overall change in velocity. Power draw of these thrusters was on ...

Called the Super Magdrive, the new thruster uses solar power to charge capacitors to ionize any metal the thruster uses as a raw material. Magdrive explains that the capacitors can discharge at a ...

On the face of things, not much, but after seeing [Zachary Tong]’s latest video on liquid metal ion thrusters, we see that they seem to have a lot more in common than we’d initially thought.

The WET thrusters are designed to operate within a power range of 500 to 1000 watts. This makes them particularly well-suited ...
