The author's aim is to offer a revolutionary method – the non-rocket transfer of energy and thrust into Space with distances of millions of kilometers.

    Design/methodology/approach

    The author develops the theory and makes the computations.

    Findings

    The method is more efficient than transmission of energy by high-frequency waves.

    Practical implications

    The method may be used for space launch and for acceleration of spaceships and probes to very high speeds, up to relativistic speed by current technology.

    Originality/value

    The research presented contains prospective projects which illustrate the possibilities of the suggested method.
