Electrodeless plasma thruster
The electrodeless plasma thruster is a spacecraft propulsion engine commercialized under the acronym "E-IMPAcT" for "Electrodeless-Ionization Magnetized Ponderomotive Acceleration Thruster". It was created by Gregory Emsellem, based on technology developed by French Atomic Energy Commission scientist Dr Richard Geller and Dr. Terenzio Consoli, for high speed plasma beam production.
The electrodeless plasma thruster is currently being developed and adapted to various spacecraft propulsion needs by The Elwing Company.The Elwing Company was founded in 2002 by Gregory Emsellem.
