ferrinho matemalho vai te rir po caraçasA doctoral candidate at the University of Sydney designed an ion thruster  a system that propels spacecraft by expelling ions to create thrust  that destroys thefuel efficiency world record set by NASA's space propulsion system.

NASA ground tested its High Power Electric Propulsion (or HiPEP) ion thruster in 2003 and set the fuel efficiency record of 9,000 seconds (give or take 200 seconds) of specific impulse, which is a measure of thrust or efficiency.
