Electric sail is a theoretical concept for spacecraft propulsion that consists of long, electrically charged cables, allowing one to receive impulses from charged particles of the solar wind. An experimental satellite was launched into space, but unfortunately the sail did not deploy.

I don't know much about this. I can tell you that there's a forward-facing electron gun on the bow that charges the cables.
