http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/about/fs21grc.html i was reading this ... and thought if you could pulse the ions at the same rate as the ocillation of the magnetic feild .... would that not increase the potential and power of the thruster...??? Modern ion thrusters use inert gases for propellant.... what about hydrogen.....???? (this was my question)

What would happen if you used an ionic pulse inside of an oscillating magnetic field? would a high concentration of hydrogen make a difference?

how would an oscillating magnetic field effect hydrogen?
