X-Ray Propulsor: Physical Principle for an Electromagnetic Propellantless Propulsion System
Alexandre A. Martins
In this work we are going to develop a physical model that explains how propulsion may be developed in a vacuum by the collision of electrons with an anode. Instead of using princi…

On the electromagnetic origin of inertia and inertial mass
Alexandre A. Martins, Mario J. Pinheiro
We address the problem of inertial property of matter through analysis of the motion of an extended charged particle. Our approach is based on the continuity equation for momentum…

The Connection Between Inertial Forces and the Vector Potential
Alexandre A. Martins, Mario J. Pinheiro
. The inertia property of matter is discussed in terms of a type of induction law related to the extended charged particle's own vector potential. Our approach is based on the Lagr…
