New Plasma Propulsion System Generates A Helluva Lot of Thrust

The next big thing in space propulsion?:
This story reminds me of the late Paul M. Koloc's work with plasmoids as
well. In his case, rather than create a thruster, he was hoping to
compress plasmoids to fuse. The resulting EM pulse he wanted to couple
magnetically to directly produce electricity. He called his invention
the PLASKMAK. I never saw any working prototype that was over unity. But
he was able to produce plasmoids on demand. Fascinating just in that
respect.
