But a few protoplanets may have escaped either of these fates. This is different from what is done in the ion thrusters on the Dawn spacecraft, which used high-voltage grids. Remember, the power to run the thrusters comes from solar panels, and that power must be used as it is generated—there is no great big battery to store it.

An electric car’s motor acts in reverse, as a generator, to convert the car’s motion into electricity, to feed the batteries. This seal exists to keep the pressurized gas from escaping while still allowing the translator to slide. The force of this motion also compresses the air springs, readying the system for the next cycle.
