Why is it important?

Although numerous models of aerial-robots/drones and planet landers have been demonstrated to fly autonomously in natural and manmade environments for far-reaching scientific and technological change to help humankind, no drone flowed yet with a dual-head electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) system ensuring unrestricted flight endurance (Nature 521, 460–466, 2015)2. The precept of EMP is eminent as it hastens an object by the use of a flowing electrical current, either to charge a field or opposing a magnetic field for locomotive use. In our revised paper, we present a proof of concept to demonstrate the capability of a newly invented variable speed propulsion and energy conversion system for uninterruptedly generating the reciprocating motion of a magnetic-piston by a solar battery-driven polarity changer timing circuit (PCTC) together with a laser based timing circuit (LBTC) for redundancy. The reciprocating crusade of the magnetic piston could be successfully converted into rotary motion to generate continuous power for various multidisciplinary applications on Earth and the other planets effectively in lieu of long-lasting rechargeable batteries. The proposed concept can also be used for devising various systems and subsystems from underwater to outer space. Lucrative applications include nanomaterial-enabled locomotive applications.
