Robert Forward and “mag sail”
- Dani Eder’s 1994 Collection of Propulsion Concepts. (takes a superconductor).
Robert Winglee’s “M2P2” or “mini-magnetospheric plasma propulsion”
- Use plasma to greatly inflate the magnetic field in the “mag sail” concept and couple to the solar wind with 10X or 1000X the diameter.
- A better terminology might be magnetic balloon, though Winglee liked his name better.
