Unrelated.

I was thinking,

 

Is there a way to somehow use the circulating loop as part of a ship,

and re-use it over and over again?

 

Instead the loop, speeding up the ship inside and sending it off.

 

And I thought,

 

What if the object inside the loop, is not a ship,

but an material designed to collide?

 

Wouldn't that collision force create an momentum?

(This is the principle I used with spherical "destruction ball", if anyone remembers)

 

So i've drawn a diagram here:

 

The red ring is the inner core loop that accelerates the object,

and black ring outside of it is the contact point.

Orange ball represents the object to be collided with:

 

 

The issue OR advantage is that the speed would be so high that there would be an explosion of some kind up on collision.

And if that can be harnessed, without damage on to the ship itself.

 

Then it can be used as an 'engine' of some kind. (More like a kinetic blast without use of chemicals but material)

The object need not be big at all. It can be tiny. Like a needle. But at the speed at which this collides would create an large kinetic force.

 

So it's just an idea. Probably not so feasible.
