Abstract
A Hall effect thruster system includes a thruster body and a diffuser configured to apply a torque to the thruster body during operation. The diffuser applies the torque by ejecting the propellant in a non-axial direction, such as a direction tangent to helical or curvilinear channels formed within a body of the diffuser. The applied torque can be used to counteract a swirl torque that is induced on the thruster body by the ionizing Hall current flowing in an annular channel of the thruster body. This effective counter-torque is useful in deep space applications outside the Earth's magnetic field.
