Re: Jet/Ion engines

I left out some information. I didn't mean for anyone to infer that the compression field was static. Otherwise if would be no different than a physical constricted throat, and that don't make no jet engine. So the field is meant to be dynamic and to act like actual blades. What I should add are fixed blades in both the compressor and turbine.
I should do away with the turbine tubular shaft. Instead the turbine wheel should be geared to a shaft that is geared to the generator. That makes a lot more sense.
