Hi I am working on a theoretical air craft design along with engine to fit this design the idea is to use magnets and other components to build a zero fuel plane i don't essentially agree with E-planes but i cant fight the future I've been working on it for 5 months now and would like some help.

its like a electric motor but its not its hard to explain im working on a digram and blue prints they will be out soo
 
I think what IRstuff is getting at here is that you have to work within the requirements of thermodynamics. Your engine has to do work in order to propel your craft, where is the energy for that work going to come from? Without energy input your engine isn't going to do work. So where then is the energy going to come from if you have zero-fuel??

I am also curious, you aught to work on trying to describe your idea in simple terms.

I pretty much presumed it was going to be batteries, if it was a real motor. The issue is the battery and not the motor; we cannot, in the foreseeable future, pack enough energy into a practical and carryable battery to power a long flight

Maybe some future version of magnetohydrodynamic propulsion in the ionosphere?

Skip,
