    "abstract": "The first reports on the \"Space Magnetic Sail\" concept appeared more 30 years\nago. During the period since some hundreds of research and scientific works\nhave been published, including hundreds of research report by professors at\nmajor famous universities. The author herein shows that all these works related\nto Space Magnetic Sail concept are technically incorrect because their authors\ndid not take into consideration that solar wind impinging a MagSail magnetic\nfield creates a particle magnetic field opposed to the MagSail field. In the\nincorrect works, the particle magnetic field is hundreds times stronger than a\nMagSail magnetic field That means all the laborious and costly computations in\nrevealed in such technology discussions are useless: the impractical findings\non sail thrust (drag), time of flight within the Solar System and speed of\ninterstellar trips are essentially worthless working data! The author reveals\nthe correct equations for any estimated performance of a Magnetic Sail as well\nas a new type of Magnetic Sail (without a matter ring).",
