A perpetual engine for spacecraft

Summary

In this 1992 Russian article, a scientist proposes a revolutionary propulsion theory based on superconductors and energy conversion. Engineer Vasiliy Shabetnik suggests that spacecraft could move without fossil fuels, using accelerated electrons and superconducting materials. According to his idea, emitted electrons would create a magnetic field that propels the craft, enabling extreme accelerations and interstellar travel. Although it sounds like science fiction, the text mentions experiments conducted in Soviet labs showing promising results, such as forces generated in small models. The theory challenges traditional physics and energy concepts, and if proven, could radically change how we travel in space and on Earth.
