ABSTRACT:
An ion prime mover or engine includes an ionization chamber closed up by a plasma boundary anchor. A field winding surrounds the ionization chamber for producing a high frequency electromagnetic alternating field. Such field ionizes a gas in the ionization chamber. The ion engine further includes an anode-cathode path for producing an electrostatic field, wherein the ionized gas is accelerated out of the ionization chamber through the apertures in the plasma boundary anchor and in the cathode. The high frequency electromagnetic alternating field is arranged in such a manner that this field is substantially undisturbed in the area of the plasma boundary anchor and that the field lines extend substantially perpendicularly to the surface of the plasma boundary anchor facing the ionization chamber.
