This Plasma Engine Could Get Humans to Mars on 100 Million Times Less Fuel! Physicists in France have figured out how to optimise an advanced type of electric rocket thruster that uses a stream of plasma travelling at 72,420 km/h (45,000 mph) to propel spacecraft forward, allowing them to run on 100 million times less fuel…

Plasma Combustion Technology Could Dramatically Improve Fuel Efficiency
The technology, a plasma combustion technique that applies electrical voltage to the gaseous-phase fuel stream prior to combustion-turning the fuel into a plasma-has already produced excellent results with propane. The next step, according to the research team, Don Coates, an intellectual property and industrial partnerships coordinator with the Physics and Chemistry divisions, Louis Rosocha of…
