Saw on r/sino. Wanted to share. Seems pretty awesome. Obviously would have to be toned down for human passengers uses. For automated uses though that acceleration would be bonkers. Rocket level momentums with no actual combustion fuels. Maybe those futuristic space slingshot things we see in some media. Long ass ramp that shoots a craft straight up then this uses it’s engines to maintain momentum instead of wasting half it’s fuel just getting off the ground?
