The force is reffered to as LORENTZ FORCE and it is probably the simplest motor design that exists - no moving parts to gain propulsion.

If you had a device hooked to this that could fire it like a railgun, alternating its electrical charge with very high voltages over and over again, it would effectively become a "pulse jet" of sorts. and be capable of tremendous speed. Of course, you'd be adding plenty of weight to it. so it would only be suitable for a large spacecraft.

This same principal can also be used underwateer for submarines. Its called MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC PROPULSION (caterpillar drive "Hunt for Red October") This is already being tested in Japan but it's weaknesses in comparison to regular motors are about the same as it would be in the air type model above. You need ALOT of electricity to make it work well.]]>Jan 20th 2008 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/20/osu-and-darpa-building-uav-nano-planes-that-can-fit-in-a-pocket/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/20/osu-and-darpa-building-uav-nano-planes-that-can-fit-in-a-pocket/Jan 20th 2008 5:42PM
