ABSTRACT:
A propulsion system is disclosed that uses microwaves originating from a ground-based or on-board source to provide energy for propulsion. The energy produces thrust by coupling into a propellant via a microwave absorbent heat exchanger, and by subsequent conversion of the propellant thermal energy to kinetic energy through a thrust converter or nozzle.
