The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop an advanced propellant-less propulsion system and compact ultra-high-energy storage devices using the unresolved Ampere Tension forces in composite conductors. Currently, there is no viable propulsion system for satellites and interplanetary spacecraft that only use the spacecraft power bus to generate propulsion. Plus, no energy storage devices can directly use Ampere Tension forces in solid non-elastic materials to store energy or strengthen the material. Currently, feasible methods for launching spacecraft into an orbit require large amounts of stored energy as combustible fuel to get spacecraft into space. These limitations have restricted the access to space to multi-billion-dollar corporations and nation-states. This technology that results from this research could transform how we get into space and store energy using compact, lightweight ceramic materials. This technology could open space to individuals, small companies, and small research groups that are now restricted from doing research in space due to the high cost of getting spacecraft into space and storing the energy for space travel. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes researching the conditions that allow the unresolved Ampere Tension forces to be observed and exploited to create propellant-less propulsion and energy devices with almost infinite energy storage capacity. The research proposed in this project is to determine under what condition Ampere Tension forces are present and how these forces can be used to create a spacecraft propellant-less propulsion and energy storage devices that are not limited by a chemical reaction in materials electrolytic. The project aims to determine the conditions that allow the unresolved forces to be observed and used to create an external force on a conductor directly from the electric current and the conditions that these same forces can store electrical energy directly into a ceramic material directly from an electric current. The innovation proposed here is to create a brand-new energy technology as a spacecraft propulsion device and energy storage device that operates only on electricity and does not need any fuel or chemical energy. In so doing, this innovation could transform current methods of launching into space and energy storage methods. Satellites using this technology would not need to include volume for fuel or chemical batteries and could use that extra space to increase the functionality of the spacecraft. Similarly, interplanetary spacecraft could maneuver using just the power bus and operate for decades without limiting the mission due to limited propellant supplies or energy storage limitations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一种先进的无推进剂推进系统和紧凑的超高能量存储设备，使用复合导体中未解决的安培张力。目前，没有可行的卫星和行星际航天器推进系统，只使用航天器电源总线产生推进力。此外，没有储能设备可以直接使用固体非弹性材料中的安培张力来存储能量或增强材料。目前，将航天器送入轨道的可行方法需要大量储存的能量作为可燃燃料，以使航天器进入太空。这些限制限制了数十亿美元的公司和民族国家进入太空的机会。这项研究的结果可以改变我们进入太空的方式，并使用紧凑，轻质的陶瓷材料储存能量。这项技术可以向个人、小公司和小型研究团体开放太空，由于将航天器送入太空和储存太空旅行所需能量的成本很高，这些人现在被限制在太空进行研究。这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目提出研究允许观察和利用未解决的安培张力的条件，以创建具有几乎无限储能容量的无推进剂推进和能源设备。 该项目中提出的研究是确定在什么条件下存在安培张力，以及如何使用这些力来创建不受电解材料中化学反应限制的航天器无推进剂推进和储能设备。 该项目旨在确定允许观察到未解决的力的条件，并用于直接从电流中在导体上产生外力，以及这些相同的力可以直接从电流中直接将电能存储到陶瓷材料中的条件。这里提出的创新是创造一种全新的能源技术，作为航天器的推进装置和储能装置，只依靠电力运行，不需要任何燃料或化学能。通过这样做，这项创新可以改变目前的发射方法和能量储存方法。使用这种技术的航天器不需要包括燃料或化学电池的体积，并且可以使用额外的空间来增加航天器的功能。类似地，行星际航天器可以仅使用动力总线进行机动，并运行数十年，而不会因有限的推进剂供应或能量存储限制而限制使命。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
