Potential Applications of Electrodynamic Tethers – arXiv
Electrodynamic tethers (EDTs) are long, thin, conductive wires deployed in space that could be used to generate power and thrust. Currents conducted through the wire combined with the strength of the Earth's magnetic field could be harnessed to produce a force that could be used as propellant-less propulsion.
