Abstract

Abstract: Tosolvethemassivepropellantproblemfordeepspacemissions，theconceptofanelectromagneticpropellerwasproposed.Theinterstellarplasmawasusedaspropellant，andtheelectricdrifteffectwithorthogonalanduniformelectricfieldandmagneticfieldwasusedtoproducethethrust.Dependingontheplasmadriftvelocity，theformulaoftheelectromagneticpropellerwasderivedinthenonrelativisticcaseandtherelativisticcase.Therestrictionofelectromagneticpropellerdesignwasanalyzed.Theelectromagneticpropellerschemeanddemonstrationexperimentsweredesignedfordeepspaceanddragfreecontrolmissionswithpracticalengineeringlevel.Astheresultofcalculation，carryingnopropellant，theelectromagneticpropellerdesigncouldobtain1056m/sspeedincrementperyearontheinterstellartravel.
