It uses a new idea called a Bare Photovoltaic Tether (BPT), which is based on an older idea of an electrodynamic tether (EDT) but has some advantages due to the addition of solar panels along its ...

Electrodynamic tethers have been proposed as a passive and propellant-less solution for deorbiting satellites, addressing the growing issue of space debris. Research on electrodynamic tether ...

Magnetic bearings and electrodynamic systems are innovative technologies that utilize magnetic forces to support and stabilize rotating machinery without the need for traditional mechanical bearings.
