Space travel might take less time than ever with the new plasma thruster design developed at the US Department of Energy. 🚀 engineering

There are several differences between Ebrahimi’s concept and other proposals. The first is that the design allows the velocity to be increased or decreased by changing the strength of the magnetic fields. Current plasma thrusters that use electric fields can only produce low specific impulses or speeds.
The new thruster would use the ejection of both plasma particles and plasmoids to produce movement. Ebrahimi's concept is unique in its incorporation of plasmoids, which would add power to the propulsion.current thruster concepts rely on electric fields and heavy gases made of atoms like xenon, the magnetic fields in Ebrahimi’s concept would allow the plasma inside the thruster to consist of almost any type of gas.
Faster space travel would not only enable us to visit more distant stars and galaxies but is also likely to provide us with more scientific knowledge, resources, and perhaps even economic development. There are many ways in which it can affect mankind:An efficient plasma thruster technology like the one proposed by the DOE physicist can significantly reduce the cost of space missions because, with faster rocket engines, space missions would be shorter. The cost of fuel, logistics, etc.
