Patent ID: 8109471

Claim:
A combination aircraft and spacecraft, comprising: an elongate fuselage defining a longitudinal fuselage axis running generally from a front end of said fuselage to a back end of said fuselage; a plurality of spaced apart first coils wound about said fuselage, each first coil being formed of electrically conductive material connected so as to carry a current such that the direction of said current flowing through any one coil is opposite the direction of said current flowing through the adjacent coil or coils, said coils being adapted in response to said current to produce sufficient heat in said coils to ionize ambient air and thereby produce free electrons and free protons; a second coil coupled in parallel to a plurality of capacitors so as to produce a resonating circuit, said second coil being elongate and defining a longitudinal coil axis that is aligned substantially with said fuselage axis; and a proton accelerator having a proton input disposed generally at said front end of said fuselage, and a proton output disposed generally at said back end of said fuselage, wherein said second coil is adapted to produce a magnetic field for interacting with the free protons so as to induce the free protons to enter said proton input.
