If human beings want to venture beyond the known, they must think big.
Human beings have been immersed in space exploration for decades, with NASA missions pioneering what we are capable of doing as a species, and the goal is more than obvious: to expand our civilization within and beyond the Solar System. Now it appears that we have put a a small step forward so that interstellar travel to be more than a chimera.
The marine engines of the future want to rely on nuclear fusion
Thanks to a study published in the arXiv medium, which is still awaiting review, we were able to discover a drive method which was named by Professor Florian Neukart Plasma drive with magnetic fusion.
This system, which we could summarize as a futuristic engineit uses the characteristics of other drive types to design the engine it uses high energy density and one fuel efficiency superior.
Magnetic fusion plasma engines could take us across the solar system and into interstellar space. #TechEdge #TechNews #TechBuzz #SpaceX #Starship #SpaceTech #Space travel #SpaceExploration #SpaceExplorer #FutureTech #SpaceNews https://t.co/KVG9IkL6sr

Unlike engines currently used in space missions, Florian Neukart’s engine is capable of providing a much stronger pullwith which they could achieve much higher speeds to the current ones, with the advantage of reducing fuel consumption.
As a curiosity, as pointed out by a professor at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, it is engine which uses Magnetic Fusion Plasma Drive is able zoom in or out according to the needs of each mission.

Florian Neukart mix concepts that are reflected in the fundamentals ion drive about that fusion drive and combines them to come up with an engine that would be key when humans can embark on space exploration. According to Professor Neukart:
The MFPD is a propulsion system for space exploration that uses controlled nuclear fusion reactions as the main source of energy for acceleration and electrical power generation (…) The plasma obtained in fusion reactions is confined and manipulated using magnetic fields, which ensures a controlled and controlled release of energy.
Many are advantages of this drive system suggested by an Austrian professor, but the most notable would be this:
- Highly specific impulse to reach distant celestial bodies.
- Use flammable high energy density.
- Dual engine use: generating impulses and energy.
- More capacity adaptability and less time spent in interstellar travel.
- Radiation protectiondue to magnetic fields.
- Independence of the Sunsuch as ships that incorporate solar panels.
- Minimization of risk contamination by it radiation.
