Hall thrusters utilise electric propulsion through the ionisation and acceleration of plasma under crossed electric and magnetic fields, offering efficient and reliable performance for spacecraft.
The possibility of the controversial IVO Quantized Inertia drive on the Barry-1 satellite working has raised the question of could it be faked with a small Hall Effect Thruster ? I looked at the ...
