Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters

Magnetoplasmadynamic Thruster is a type of electric propulsion device that generates thrust by accelerating a plasma through the interaction of an electric current and a self-induced or applied magnetic field, distinguishing it from other plasma thrusters by utilizing the Lorentz body force in a high-current, magnetoplasmadynamic discharge.
