Hello, I am a new member here. I graduated from Myanmar Aerospace Engineering University,majoring in Propulsion and Flight Vehicles. I am really interested in Geomagnetic Propulsion . So I expect to meet with a person who has been doing research professionally in this area, or any student who has the same interest in this field. So we might get improve and share our knowledge and theories. I have been thinking about this Geomagnetic Propulsion since my Student life. Now I am so glad to find this community. I hope I might get some advice and sharing concerning with this field from my respectable members here. Cause I want to do research in this field one day..

Hello! And welcome.
Have you done any preliminary calculations?
I just checked, and it appears that there has been little interest in Geomagnetic Propulsion, here in the past.
I too have always been interested in this subject, but somewhere in the back of my head, I had a feeling it would not work, so I never performed the calculations. This is why I've asked if you have done any yet.

The third entry I get from a "Google Search" on Geomagnetic Propulsion is https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/geomagnetic-propulsion.228266/

That was the thread I was referring to when I said; "little interest".
I liked Danger's comment: "fridge magnets all over the planet would be leaping into space constantly".
Of course, I went to my refrigerator, and looked at my fleet of Bucky Cubes.
I didn't pull any off, to see if physics had changed yesterday, but it did get my mind thinking about the problem.
But after about 60 seconds, I decided to wait for the OP to come back, and present his or her data.

I think my Bucky cubes have a magnetic flux at the poles of around 1 tesla, and electrically generated, multiple tesla level machines are quite large. I thought that maybe some new nano-wire-technology might allow bazillions of wraps of wire and create enough force to actually lift something off the ground.

I see it as a mathematical recreation. Kind of like the "Magnets on bumpers" thread. It was quite fun, IMHO. And I learned a bit.

This isn't appropriate for this forum, this is "introductions only", please start a thread in the proper forum if you wish to continue this.
 

FAQ: Exploring Geo-Magnetic Propulsion: A Forum for Researchers and Enthusiasts

What is geo-magnetic propulsion?

Geo-magnetic propulsion is a theoretical concept that involves using the Earth's magnetic field as a means of propulsion for spacecraft or other vehicles. It is based on the idea that by manipulating the Earth's magnetic field, a vehicle could achieve lift and propulsion without the need for traditional fuel sources.

How does geo-magnetic propulsion work?

The exact mechanism of geo-magnetic propulsion is still a topic of debate and research. However, one proposed method is to use superconducting materials to create a magnetic field that interacts with the Earth's magnetic field, causing a repulsive force that could lift and propel a vehicle.

What are the potential applications of geo-magnetic propulsion?

If successfully developed, geo-magnetic propulsion could have a wide range of applications, including space travel, satellite propulsion, and even transportation on Earth. It could potentially revolutionize the way we travel and explore the universe.

What are the current challenges and limitations of geo-magnetic propulsion?

One of the main challenges of geo-magnetic propulsion is the development of materials that can sustain the required superconductivity at high temperatures and pressures. Additionally, the technology is still in its early stages, and there are many unknown factors and potential obstacles that need to be addressed before it can become a viable means of propulsion.

What is the current state of research on geo-magnetic propulsion?

Research on geo-magnetic propulsion is ongoing, with scientists and engineers around the world working to develop and test various theories and technologies. While there have been some promising advancements, there is still a long way to go before geo-magnetic propulsion can be fully realized and utilized.
