Do you have an energy budget for that trip?\
Some thrusters, which develop more than 10,000 tons of thrust in 1 hour,
First you should try for, say, 10 newtons of thrust.
Can you explain why it takes an hour to develop the thrust?
Isn't the vXB reaction instantaneous?
May I suggest a simple exercise:
When ions in the solar wind are deflected by earth's magnetic
field, do you think that is also reactionless and therefore
non-Newtonian?
Merry Christmas, happy new year, may your invention be
unexpectedly successful, and may the investigators steer
clear of your doorstep.
are located under the solar panels that power the storage batteries. Water tanks will then be attached to the skeleton
to shield it from any type of radiation.
Both the aliena thrusters and the solar panels are attached to the skeleton.
