This invention relates to propulsion systems for driving a space vehicle. The main element of the propulsion system is an elongated hollow tube that is open at one end and closed at the other end. Inside near the closed end there is a jet engine, a heater for raising the temperature of a gas, a gaseous substance, a gas compressor and a means of generating a directional force. The said force is directed towards the closed end of the tube. The means adapted to provide the said force may be electrostatic force, or it may be centrifugal force generated by spinning the whole unit. The said force causes the gas to collect at the closed end of the tube. The gas is first compressed and then heated to a high temperature in a container. Then the hot high-pressure gas is introduced to the jet engine, which directs the exhaust gas towards the open end of the tube. Two extra forces result, the main one being the push from the jet engine. The other force derives from the cooling gases circulating down the walls of the tube to the closed end of the tube, where a change in the direction of momentum causes an additional force. both extra forces are directed towards the closed end of the tube. There are no opposing forces because the other end of the tube is open to space.
