Summary

ELECTROMAGNETIC THRUSTER IS ONE OF THE SHIP PROPULSION METHODS IN WHICH THE THRUST IS RESULTED FROM THE INTERACTION BETWEEN MAGNETIC FIELD GENERATED BY THE FIXED MAGNET ON THE SHIP AND ELECTRIC CURRENT SENT TO THE SEA WATER. IN 1976, THE FIRST ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPULSION MODEL SHIP IN THE WORLD, WAS BUILT AND FUNDAMENTAL EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT WHICH CONFIRM THAT SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE PROPULSION METHOD. IN 1979, THE SECOND SHIP WAS BUILT AND THIS MODEL IS 3.6 M IN LENGTH, 700 KG IN WEIGHT AND ABOUT 2 TESLAS IN MAGNETIC FIELD. THE ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE EXPERIMENTS.
