Electrodynamic tethers are long, thin conductive cables
stationed in space that can be used to induce power by removing kinetic energy
from their orbital stir, or to produce thrust when adding energy from an on-
board source. In either case, the frictional or thrust force, is produced
electrodynamically, through the commerce between moving charges and glamorous
fields. From then, we notice that the operation of electrodynamic tethers is
confined to elysian objects that have anon-zero glamorous field and ionospheric
tube (e.g., Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, etc, not the moon or Mercury, etc).Click here to continue reading
