Plasma engines demonstrate exceptional advantages through their ability to decrease greenhouse gas pollution. Combustion engines use fossil fuels, which boosts greenhouse gas production by up to 29 ...

Fossil fuels are a leading source of greenhouse gas emissions ... have developed a prototype jet engine powered by microwave air plasmas, offering thrust without fossil fuels.

An efficient way to ionize the gas for MHD acceleration is through electron beam ionization where high-energy electrons are injected directly into the flow. Plasma Fueled Engines (PFE) offer a means ...

liquids and gas – in which there is a significant portion of charged particles as ions or electrons. Plasma engines use electricity to generate plasma and eject ions to produce thrust.

The new plasma rocket engine is poised to accelerate spacecraft to speeds of up to 100 kilometers per second (62 miles per second), reducing travel time to Mars from years to just 30 to 60 days.
