Space Ion drive (tested in space ).
Traveling to an outer space needs the propulsion unit, taken from the science fiction, the ionic engine. The ion engine is similar to a mini linear accelerator. Dispersing ions behind, the ship moves forward. Ion engine is very weak pull, but it works 1 time for a month. This is enough to disperse the ship faster and faster. In an ionic engine, the chemical fuel is replaced by an inert gas xenon. The xenon is acted upon by an electric charge, i.e., ionized. The electric field accelerates ions, pushing them from the rear of the ship pushes it forward.
