= Electrodynamic tether
{wiki=Electrodynamic_tether}
An electrodynamic tether is a device that consists of a long conductive wire or cable that can generate thrust or electrical power through electromagnetic interactions with the Earth's magnetic field. By moving through the magnetic field, the tether generates a current due to the motion of the conductive material in the field, which can be used for various purposes, such as propulsion, power generation, or orbital maneuvering. \#\#\# Key Concepts 1.
