New Space Propulsion System Uses Sun's Magnetic Field

0b1 writes "ABC Science News has an interesting article on a new space propulsion system, that may beat voyager to the edge of the solar system." Fascinating. Seems like a lot less hassle than a light sail. For a little more info about this and other proposed "no propellant" space propulsion systems, check this NASA page. Lots of interesting concepts, all unfortunately still at the "dream" stage of development.
