Systems and methods for electromagnetic thrusting are disclosed. An electromagnetic thrusting system includes an axially-asymmetric resonant cavity including a conductive inner surface, the resonant cavity adapted to support a standing electromagnetic (EM) wave therein, the standing EM wave having an oscillating electric field vector defining a z-axis of the resonant cavity. The resonating cavity lacks 2nd-axis axial symmetry. The standing EM wave induces a net unidirectional force on the resonant cavity. |
