Abstract
(1) Background: In a recent paper discussing Newton’s third law in the framework of special relativity for charged bodies, it was suggested that one can construct a practical relativistic motor provided high enough charge and current densities are available. As on the macroscopic scale charge density is limited by the phenomena of dielectric breakdown, it was suggested to take advantage of the high charge densities which are available on the microscopic scale. (2) Methods: We use standard physical theories such as Maxwell electrodynamics and quantum mechanics, supplemented by tools from vector analysis and numerics. (3) Results: We show that a hydrogen atom either in the ground state or excited state will not produce a relativistic engine effect, but by breaking the symmetry or putting the electron in a wave packet state may produce relativistic motor effect. (4) Conclusions: A highly localized wave packet will produce a strong relativistic motor effect. The preliminary analysis of the current paper suggests new promising directions of research both theoretical and experimental.

Albert Einstein [1] used this to formulate their theory of relativity, which postulated that c is the maximal allowed speed in nature
Summary
Abstract: (1) Background: In a recent paper discussing Newton’s third law in the framework of special relativity for charged bodies, it was suggested that one can construct a practical relativistic motor provided high enough charge and current densities are available. The theory was derived both from empirical observations and the theory of electromagnetics, which was presented in the midst of the nineteenth century by Maxwell by his famous partial differential equations [2,3,4] which owe their modern formulation to Oliver Heaviside [5]. Those equations imply that an electromagnetic wave travels at the speed of light c, which led the scientific community to believe that light is electromagnetic. It is obvious that action and reaction cannot be generated at the same time because the speed of signal
