coils in space

["Metlicka Marc" <mystuffs-at-orwell-dot-net> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

hello all,
if a tc was fired in space, then it would become a propulsion unit.
nasa's tethered satellite project is studying this effect for satellite
propulsion and orientation. a current flow in one direction is a
generator, the other is a propulsion.
the second failure of the tethered satellite was due to a spark from the
conductor to the ship unit, this was due to the unimagined amount of
energy that this system produced.
even in deep space the topload of the coil would probably give off a
glow when running because space is a very dirty vacuum,(and i guess the
densest substance in the universe could be considered the dirtiest
vacuum) there is always present very thin atomic structure. even in the
cleanest vacuums created there can not be a true vacuum because a pure
vacuum would be defined as an absence of matter.  it has been found that
in a very high vacuum that electrons and protons appear and disappear at
random. it would seam that a high vacuum is a sink that wants to be
filled. thus Einstein's theory of the energy potential in a cubic yard
of vacuum.
