Abstract:
The present invention discloses systems and methods for electromagnetic field spacecraft propulsion. The system includes reaction thrust assemblies comprising conductor coils with alternating segments of magnetic field shield assemblies. Unshielded reaction thrust assembly segments are bracketed by field activation coils generating shaped magnetic fields. The action of the magnetic fields on currents in the unshielded coil segments of the reaction thrust assemblies produce unidirectional Lorentz Forces, thereby generating thrust without reaction mass, while reaction momentum is carried away by Poynting Vector fields in conformity with the currently understood principles of electrodynamics.

Claim (Index 1):
An electromagnetic field propulsion system comprising:\n a planar structural support plate having the planform shape of a circle, oval, triangle, or other n-sided polygon and comprised of any combination of lightweight, non-magnetic materials from the group of: aluminum, titanium, high-impact plastic, fiberglass, and carbon fiber composites, for the purpose of maintaining specific component geometries; at least one reaction thrust assembly comprising one or more insulated electrical current conductors wound in the manner of an air-core solenoid and attached circumferentially to the structural support plate; at least two electromagnetic solenoid field activation coils attached to the structural support plate, each field activation coil comprising insulated electrical current conductors wound on cores having relative magnetic permeability of at least 2, for the function of generating directed magnetic fields onto segments of a reaction thrust assembly; a plurality of magnetic field shield assemblies for the function of attenuating magnetic fields directed onto designated shielded segments of a reaction thrust assembly; an energy supply unit attached to the structural support plate for the purpose of supplying electric current to the field activation coils and the reaction thrust assembly conductors, said unit to be comprised of any combination from the group: storage batteries, fuel cells, solar panels, radioisotopic thermal generators, and nuclear electric generator systems; whereby a unique apparatus is constructed producing a net unidirectional Lorentz Force on the electromagnetic field propulsion system, wherein said force results from applied currents in field activation coils generating magnetic fields which interact with applied currents in a reaction thrust assembly, and further wherein reaction momentum is carried away by Poynting Vector fields thereby producing thrust on the system without expelling propellant.
