There had been some wishful thinking on this idea in previous threads.

It turns out that the idea is being worked on by NASA in cooperation with MIT, and is farther along than I first thought.

I just came across a news release and a research paper, both from MIT that describes how it works. Unless you have a PHd the paper will be hard to digest, but it contains a number of pictures that will give you the basic idea.

Looks like we need to get FritzW busy 3-D printing a homebuilt version!;)
