Abstract
This invention is an Reactionless electromagnetic engine which produces thrust without propellant. It does so with one or more solenoid coils, one coil with a passive magnetic field applied to it and another coil which can be the same as the first coil with an active magnetic field. It generalizes reactionless thrusters where any free moving source of kinetic energy can be coupled to a magnet which is driven into another magnet of the opposite polarity fixed onto the system to transfer the thrust of the free moving component into the system as a whole, and where the component then must be returned to its original position to generate more kinetic energy to be transferred into the system in an additional cycle.

A method for a reactionless electromagnetic engine comprising of:
- One or more solenoid electromagnetic coils arranged on the same horizontal central axis using a voltage that is applied between 0.00001V to 1*10{circumflex over ( )}12 V and the amperage is between 0.00001 A to 10000000000000000 1*10{circumflex over ( )}12 Amps;
- one wired to a standing invariant or smoothly varying magnetic field which may be produced by the application of a voltage into the solenoid or through an external standing magnet;
- the single solenoid or additional solenoids are wired to a power supply which feeds it sharp pulses of electricity and where the polarity of the two magnets are the same.
The passive coil retracts the magnetic conductor back to its original position after firing and prevents the moving core from being ejected from the solenoid.
A method where multiple reactionless drives are arranged on a spacecraft or satellite platform such as a cube satellite in a parallel array or serial array of repeating thrusting engines with a timer to control the firings to provide unlimited specific impulse and 6 axis-maneuverability controlled by a GNC algorithm connected to an IMU.
A method for reactionless thrusters which generates reactionless thrust by harnessing momentum or kinetic energy wherein one magnet or magnetic field coupled to the source of the kinetic energy strikes another magnet or magnetic field of an opposite polarity wherein one magnet is coupled to a kinetic energy source such as a free moving solenoid core such as one fired from a rail gun or any other source of kinetic energy such as a bullet or a piston of an internal combustion engine while another harnesses the kinetic energy and conveys it to the system moving from the net thrust by colliding with the first magnet with an opposite polarity on the free moving kinetic energy source;
- And wherein the kinetic energy source is then returned to its original position by the reflection of the opposite polarity magnetic with or without an additional force such as a conveyor belt or an engine for an additional cycle of the engine.
