Thistledown drive


12:11 PM 2/17/06
A magnetic drive inspired by Jupiter. The magnetosphere around Jupiter is expanded by the plasma from Io's volcanos, the volcanos are caused by the heating of the mantle of Io by the magnetosphere, a self completing natural system. The bow shock wave forms a shape like a wing.

The "Thistledown drive"
Principles:

All energy originates from the sun. The Solar system is basicly a sea of radiation and magnetic fields.

Hitching a Ride on a Magnetic Bubble
Instead of a bubble, turn the solenoid 90 degrees.
by rotating it you form a wing of plasma contained by the magnetic field.

Doubling this you have a magnetic propeller. The wing shape provides lift from the ground, the same principles as a helicopter. Also you have the effect of a hot air balloon, from the hot plasma. There are some physics indications that oppositely turning propellers might have a antigravity effect as well. If that were true, and the effect continued in a vertical column, It could cause the air to rise with almost tornado force, another lift factor. You are now in Space, and you can turn your attention to riding the solar wind.
