Scientific paper

A newly developed high power solid state switch might have enabled a propellantless propulsion system (PPS), based on the Lenz's Law interactions of a very rapidly pulsed magnet. Although only limited propulsion would be provided with each pulse, and then only during the 100-nanosecond ramp-up of the pulse, the newly developed switch produces 400,000 high power pulses per second. A PPS of this type would consist of an electrical power supply, the switch, and a solenoid with a plate on one end to produce an asymmetry in the magnetic field. Other applications might include propulsion with reduced thermal and acoustical signatures, and a means to dampen inertia. .
