TL;DR
This paper introduces the AB-Space Engine, a revolutionary propulsion system that transfers energy via plasma cables from ground stations, enabling high thrust and specific impulse without expelling reaction mass.
Contribution
It develops the theory of the AB-Space Engine and demonstrates its potential for high-thrust space propulsion using ground-based energy transfer.
Findings
Can produce thrust of 10 tons or more
Capable of accelerating spacecraft to thousands of km/s
Uses minimal hydrogen for plasma cable creation
Abstract
On 4 January 2007 the author published the article Wireless Transfer of Electricity in Outer Space in http://arxiv.org wherein he offered and researched a new revolutionary method of transferring electric energy in space. In that same article, he offered a new engine which produces a large thrust without throwing away large amounts of reaction mass (unlike the conventional rocket engine). In the current article, the author develops the theory of this kind of impulse engine and computes a sample project which shows the big possibilities opened by this new AB-Space Engine. The AB-Space Engine gets the energy from ground-mounted power; a planet electric station can transfer electricity up to 1000 millions (and more) of kilometers by plasma wires. Author shows that AB-Space Engine can produce thrust of 10 tons (and more). That can accelerate a space ship to some thousands of…
