A magnetic sail, often referred to as a "magnetohydrodynamic sail" or simply "mag sail," is a proposed spacecraft propulsion system that uses magnetic fields to interact with the solar wind—the stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun. This concept leverages the principles of electromagnetism to provide thrust, allowing spacecraft to travel through space without relying solely on conventional propellants.
