Electrodynamic Tether

 


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
