Elektron drive ?

Sure, if you want a spacecraft stuck to your ceiling, else see "ion drive".

They're also more massive so you'll be going backwards.

Neutrinos are smaller (at least in mass - I don't know if anyone has an idea of a diameter for them, or even if the concept makes sense). But good luck on making a neutrino drive!

Recharge them ofcourse ? :)

Though perhaps atoms/ions not even necessary to generate or capture elektrons from some other source. Could be a magnetic field capturing elektrons and expelling them in a certain direction.

What is the charge issue ?

Perhaps you are hinting at positrons/protons acquiring a positive charge ?

Not sure how that works.

For now I would assume the positive charge happens because the elektron leaves.

Perhaps there is no issue since this is exactly the idea.

The elektron is shot into a certain direction and the craft moves into the opposite direction.

Alternatively external elektrons are acquired via perhaps a magnetic field.

No the idea is to prevent any fuel or to at least have a form of "super fuel".

Atoms can store many elektrons. Atoms function as the batery or other form of source of fuel.

Perhaps rubbing atoms together creates new charge or electrons.... who knows ;)

At least a super efficient battery might be able to store many many elektrons... and some kind of power device could generate electrons or charge...

Solar panels come to mind.

Good idea! I could just fill my truck wiith 20 gallons of electrons. Seems simple enough.

And what do you d with these atoms after you've stripped off their electrons?

OK, now what?

Not possible.

as long as the electrons are part of some carbon and hydrogen ;)
