Walker is the principal investigator and director of the Joint Advanced Propulsion Institute (JANUS), [13] NASA’s Space Technology Research Institute, which develops strategies and methodologies to overcome limitations in ground testing of high-power electric propulsion systems.
6 kW Hall thruster in operation at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory 3D sketch of an electromagnetic propulsion fusion plasma thruster. Spacecraft electric propulsion (or just electric propulsion) is a type of spacecraft propulsion technique that uses electrostatic or electromagnetic fields to accelerate mass to high speed and thus generating thrust to modify the velocity of a spacecraft in ...
During his career, Jahn worked on electrically powered spacecraft propulsion and directed several major research programs in advanced aerospace propulsion systems, in cooperation with NASA and the U.S. Air Force. In 1961, he founded the Electric Propulsion and Plasma Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton and directed it for more than three decades. [4]

American interest in gravity control propulsion research intensified during the early 1950s. Literature from that period used the terms anti-gravity, anti-gravitation, baricentric, counterbary, electrogravitics (eGrav), G-projects, gravitics, gravity control, and gravity propulsion.
Some people who have been claimed to be suppressed, harassed, or killed for their research are Stanley Meyer, [17] Eugene Mallove, [18] and Nikola Tesla. [19] Free energy proponents claim that Tesla developed a system (the Wardenclyffe Tower) that could generate unlimited energy for free. His system was only intended to transmit energy for free ...
Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) is an American research and development facility based in Niskayuna, New York and dedicated to the support of the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. [1] KAPL was instituted in 1946 under a contract between General Electric and the United States government .
A view from inside the vacuum chamber showing the Advanced Electric Propulsion System fired up during qualification testing at NASA Glenn. In July 2017, AEPS was tested at Glenn Research Center. [12] The tests used a Power Processing Unit (PPU), which could also be used for other advanced spacecraft propulsion technology. [12]
