Abstract
An example method for producing thrust includes injecting a neutral gas into a cavity between an outer electrode and an inner electrode of a thruster, ionizing the neutral gas within the cavity into a plasma, causing the plasma to form into a plasma arc between the end of the inner electrode and the exhaust orifice of the outer electrode, generating a magnetic field that applies pressure on the plasma arc, maintaining stability of the plasma arc, and exhausting the plasma arc out of the exhaust orifice based on the applied pressure of the magnetic field, thereby producing thrust.
