Abstract
A vehicle propulsion system includes an air heating chamber that receives inlet air from an air intake chamber and provides thrust through an exhaust chamber. A battery powered pulse generator generates a pulsed electrical output signal. An amplifier amplifies the pulsed electrical output signal to provide an amplified pulsed power output signal to the air heating chamber. The amplified pulsed power output signal directly heats the inlet air to generate thrust through the exhaust chamber.
