Apeiron v4 (Piro-Nero): Propellantless Space Propulsion via Asymmetric Magnetohydrodynamic Closed-Loops and Resonant Nano-Fluids
This technical research manifest introduces Apeiron v4 (Codename: Piro-Nero), a revolutionary propellantless space propulsion framework pioneered by independent researcher Zulfiqar Al-Zaman. Transitioning scale-invariant fluid spacetime dynamics into vacuum space exploration, the paradigm bypasses the limitations of the classical rocket equation. By utilizing a peripheral low-radio-frequency (10–100 kHz) resonant magnetic matrix interacting with dynamic, steric-stabilized paramagnetic nano-fluids, the architecture generates an asymmetric magnetic field gradient (Nabla H). This mechanism produces a deterministic net thrust profile of 5 Newtons (5,000,000 uN) verified under high-vacuum chamber experimental protocols (10⁻⁵ Torr) on a torsion thrust stand, securing a continuous acceleration trajectory for deep-space interstellar transit without fuel expulsion."
