Lightning Propulsion Rocket Engine: This is a theoritical rocket engine that is based on the principles of cause an effect. Artificial lightning is discharged towards an ionized gas. When the lightning strikes the gas, it propels the craft forward at near the speed of light. The engine is designed to be used in the vacuum of space under zero gravity.
The engine was first theorized by a Christian science fiction writer named Victor Darnell Hadnot in one of his short stories.
