Description
Scientests are working on a new drive system called the Mini-magnetospheric plasma propulsion drive, or M2P2 drive. It is a magnetic field that has plasma injected into it. It uses the solar winds, ionized gases from the sun, to move because those particles travels at hundreds of kilometres a second which could eventually push a spacecraft at nearly hundreds of kilometres a second.
You can find more about it at http://www.geophys.washington.edu/Space/SpaceModel/M2P2/
The ship is the DY-100 from the original Star Trek from Star Trek Autralia at http://www.startrekaustralia.com/
The picture was made with AutoCAD 2002

Good design and lighting. Interesting science also. Thanks. That info will keep me off the streets for a while. :-)
