It is an experimental revolutionary method for propulsion of spacecraft.
It is called Magnetic Fusion Plasma Drive (MFPD).
If it can be implemented, space travel and space exploration will be redefined. The vast distances between planets and galaxies will be drastically reduced.
This will have the added benefit that astronauts will not be in space for a long time resulting in less exposure to hazards such as radiation and negative effects on the body from the lack of gravity.
Technically the benefits are fuel economy and more thrust.
This method will combine magnetic fusion with ionic technique, as they are called.
