Finally, an electromagnetic thruster good enough for your mom.
If they get to 1.21 gigawatts, they can use a Delorean to travel into the future!
Didn’t bother reading the article. What does “power level” measuse? Is it 120 kW of dissipated heat or useful work?
Maybe there’s a different community that discusses the different flavors of crayons that you might find more your speed?
