ABSTRACT:
A system for propelling a solid body having a transmit antenna for transmitting electromagnetic energy with a desired frequency and pattern. A solid body having a receiving antenna for receiving the transmitted energy and a fuel storage space, which receives fuel from the storage space and receives electromagnetic energy from the receiving antenna and in response thereto heats the fuel to produce a pressurized gas. A nozzle receives the pressurized gas and releases the gas from the solid body to produce a thrust force on the solid body.
