Could this be used as an engine of some kind? The spinny thing giving off EM waves and those waves are caught by something like a solar sail?

At first glance, the concept appears to serve as the basis for a 'portable' magnetic field generator, which could be installed on an interplanetary spacecraft.

Or you could use an ordinary electromagnet.
