Photon drive and photon turbine When light reflects from a mirror it transfers sometimes more and sometimes less momentum to the mirror when mirror has dielectric in front compared to mirror in vacuum. Bouncing focused light between two mirrors fixed in a chasing where in front of one there is dielectric material and in front of the other there is vacuum, creates a net force difference. The second way to produce the force is through drag which light feels when it travels through dielectric material. This drag continuously transfers part of the light's momentum to the material. Net force from bouncing light between two mirrors can be used for linear propulsion in low friction environments such as outer space. When we redirect the light into a circular motion using coiled up fiber optic cable on the outer rim, than light creates rotating motion that can be used for electricity generation.

A photon drive is a thrust engine for a space vessel, characterized in that a directionally focused freely propagating electromagnetic wave, such as laser light in a visible range, further referred to as light, is bouncing between two fixed mirrors, after it is injected from one or both sides, where in front of only one mirror there is a layer of a transparent dielectric material which can be fluid or solid, while in front of the other mirror is vacuum.
A photon drive is a thrust engine, characterized in that a directionally focused freely propagating electromagnetic wave, such as laser light in a visible range, further referred to as light, is injected from one or more sources and after that it is propagating inside fiber optic cable or any other dielectric, which coiled up forms elongated loops where one leg consists of material with a different refraction index than another.
A photon turbine is an electric generator, characterized in that a directionally focused freely propagating electromagnetic wave, such as laser light in a visible range, further referred to as light, produces a force to drive a rotor by traveling-a whole journey through a transparent dielectric material which is in a form of an optical cable or any other dielectric which is coiled up many times on an outer rim of the rotor.
