In Electro-Static thrusters, the propellant is ionized and the resulting ions are accelerated through an electric potential. Common examples include Hall effect and Kaufmann type thrusters. Electro-Magnetic thrusters utilize electric and magnetic body forces to accelerate ions. The most common type of electromagnetic thruster is the magnetoplasmadynamic thruster, or MPD. 2, record 1, English, - electromagnetic%20thruster

[...] dans le propulseur électromagnétique, le projectile(un morceau de résine isolante) porte sur sa face arrière de minces feuilles de cuivre, qui fondent rapidement et se vaporisent lorsque elles sont traversées par un courant de très forte intensité ;on est alors en présence d’un plasma(gaz ionisé conducteur, localement neutre). La température de ce plasma est suffisamment élevée pour que tous les atomes de cuivre soient ionisés [...] 1, record 1, French, - propulseur%20%C3%A9lectromagn%C3%A9tique

The sulphur contained in an inactive oil is the natural sulphur of the oil and has no chemical value in the cutting fluid's function during machining. These fluids are termed inactive because the sulphur is so firmly attached to the oil that very little is released to react with the work surface during the cutting action. 2, record 3, English, - inactive%20cutting%20oil
