Micro Gravity Propelantless Propulsion System

This idea is inspired by MIT's small jumping robot cubes and the decades old technology used to orientate satellites in orbit.

Reaction wheels (flywheels) rotate at high angular velocities and then are made to stop using one of the four electromagnetic brakes transferring angular momentum into the body of the frame.

Nuclear Reactor Powered Aircraft with Water Generator and Advanced Energy Recovery Systems

This particular Nuclear Powered Aircraft uses heat generated during Nuclear Fission to generate steam from stored water.

The nuclear fission is performed on a low weight radioactive material like Iodine. The heat so released is used to convert water into steam, which in turn drives the turbine.
