The simplest accelerator is here!

Thank you this is great explanation.
could this or the electromagnetic spectrum be used for propulsion as when you plug in a coil of wire it takes off. it goes up.
what about a high FREQ of say 70Ghz pulsing low freq waves or long waves?

Particle accelerators are already used for propulsion, in the form of ion drives. Given sufficient time and energy, they can reach very high speeds with a small amount of fuel, saving launch costs. However, they can't produce enough thrust to get off the ground, so they must be boosted into orbit with chemical rockets first.
Not sure what your other question is. 70 GHz is a high frequency, it is well into the EHF (extremely high frequency) band, the highest frequency range commonly used in radio. However, pulsing it at a lower frequency won't do anything unusual. Electromagnetic radiation does carry momentum, and you do technically get thrust from a directional beam of light or radio waves, but the amount of thrust is far too small to be of any use at the present.
As for the coil "going up", you're going to need to be more specific. If the windings aren't firmly secured, an electromagnet coil will change shape under the influence of its own magnetic field, and may well jump into the air momentarily. If arranged properly next to a metal plate, it may hover due to the magnetic field produced by eddy currents induced in the plate. That might be useful for a kind of magnetic bearing, but it's not particularly useful for propulsion.

German foo fighters used this technology of ionizing air around something.
Sorry this is not very scientific I have proof of plugging in a coiled wire and it will go up, the video is on the web somewhere.
Since EM waves travel at C
then this must be the only way to get to the speed of light. I meant use a high FREQ to pulse a continuous low FREQ since in my mind low FREQ have more force or at least they do with sound.
sure I'm wrong but right in the sense that we need to unlock the EM to get propulsion force from it like the particle acceleration thingy.
sorry for being a bit dense.

Oh, I haven't thought to use itself for propulsion
Instead, I've had an idea for applying it to nuclear fusion and equipping it to the rocket as;

wow I do not understand it totally but get the diagram or bits of it at least.
How fast could this propell a rocket say up to 1/10th Light speed?
and are you sure? are you PHD?
me just MSC level but no piece of paper.

I heard in 1960's many researchers have tried to generate nuclear fusion using accelerators. Some of them have succeeded, but could not keep the chain reaction. In my method the electrons emitted from the rods neutralize the cation plasma and it might help to keep the chain reaction.
