Scientists and engineers are investigating the final phase of the human made miracle - Propellant-less Electromagnetic Propulsion of the space ships.
The electric current and its rate of change can emulate the physical velocity and acceleration respectively. The relative state of velocity can be used to emulate the condition of subjecting a mass to a centrifugal force relative to the center of the Earth and lifting it. The relative state of acceleration can be used to induce force and thus thrust on a target mass.
The implementations are compact, easily implemented and allow the control of the intensity and the direction of the resulting thrust force.
The creation of a net lift force is simlar to developing a centrifugal lift on a body oving normal to the terrestrial vector of gravity. A major advantage however is that in using equivalent states of velocity, induced electromagnetically, no physical movement of the body tangential to the surface of the Earth is needed. A further advantage is that in inducing electromagnetically the state of equivalent velocity, the actual lifting energy is of relativistic origin and is supplied by conversion of a tiny portion of the mass to be lifted into equivalent potential energy. In this case, the electromagnetic induction of the state or domain of equivalent acceleration simply catalyses and sustains this energy conversion.The result is a very high efficiency in upward thrust generation.
As no input energy is demanded, the lifted body is isolated in its own frame of reference and is therefore not subjected to inertia. The efficiency of the electrically generating domains of velocity and acceleration depends on the dimensions of the generating element, with regard to the fundamental wavelength of the waveform applied to it. The exploitation of the creation of states of equivalent acceleration due to the second derivative of the electric charge with respect to time leads to the production of thrust vectors of arbitrarily controlled orientation and amplitude.
These vectors can be used for space station keeping as a first application, and as a substitute to more conventional thrusters at a later stage of development. Thrusters in the form of RF- resonant disks, rod-like transmission lines and plane-capacitor banks are currently researched.
The resulting design though crude in alien type III standard is an acceptable point of start and will improve substatially in coming years.
