Either way, ion propulsion is real and NASA has toyed with it for ages and many satellites use it for maintaining orbit. Now researchers from MIT and the Monterrey Institute of Technology and ...

Ionic thrusters generate efficient propulsion in air Date: April 3, 2013 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Thrusters powered by ionic wind may be an efficient alternative to ...

The new design is certainly a step up visually from previous efforts, but at the end of the day, an ionic propulsion system is going to look like an ionic propulsion system; by necessity it'll ...

Ionic propulsion is typically pretty weak. However, this setup has potential. By Peter Holderith. Published Sep 22, 2022 4:27 PM EDT. 0. Plasma Channel via YouTube. Get The Drive’s daily newsletter.

Spanish startup Arkadia Space has successfully tested in orbit a thruster it has developed that uses hydrogen peroxide as propellant.

But chemical rockets require a huge amount of propellant, and so some engineers have long envisioned a future powered by other means, such as ion propulsion. It's coming. Boeing recently announced ...
