Abstract
An electrodynamic structure having a periphery. The electrodynamic structure includes a power system, a plurality of collectors, a plurality of emitters, and conductive paths. The plurality of collectors are disposed on the periphery of the electrodynamic structure and configured to collect electrons. The plurality of emitters are disposed on the periphery of the electrodynamic structure and configured to emit electrons. At least 20% of the periphery of the electrodynamic structure is utilized for electron collection and electron emission. The conductive paths are configured to conduct current between the power system, the collectors, and the emitters to provide at least one of power generation and electrodynamic propulsion.
