      Abstract
      A new model for inertial mass, quantised inertia, that predicts galaxy rotation without dark
      matter, also predicts that a highly-accelerated system surrounded by an asymmetric conductor
      will feel thrust in a new way, without having to store and expel propellant. This may already
      have been seen in the emdrive, which quantised inertia predicts quite well. Here it is shown
      that thrust effects from asymmetric capacitors (including the Woodward effect) can also be
      predicted to the right order of magnitude. The lack of a need to store heavy propellant implies
      much lighter launch systems and the possibility of interstellar travel.
