Electric Propulsion

Electric Propulsion is a class of propulsion systems that generate thrust by using electrical power to accelerate a propellant—typically a gas or plasma—through electrostatic, electromagnetic, or electrothermal processes, rather than by relying on the chemical energy of combustion.
