Now they could try the following:
1. Reduce the size of the nozzle. (outlet of ionized atoms to increase velocity)
2. Pulse the ion stream and add a "kick-start" of focused ionized radiation to stimulate ion production.
3.Increase and pulse the the anodes proportionate electromagnetics. (adding control and output)
4. Pre-aggitate the "fuel" to increase efficiency.
They said "powered" but they mean "manuvering" and this is a whole other ballpark. They are relying on the speed of the exiting plasma for total output. This would be nothing more then manuvering thrusters much like current. They said propulsion with "patience", id like a bit more clarification on this.
More like a plasma drive then a Ion drive.
