Is emission-less propulsion possible? I believe it is...

53. You only need two anvils...

Here... and please... before you lose your mind on me... just think about this...


You have two rail guns... these are to offset the gyroscopic forces. Otherwise you would induce spin.

You fire those rounds into a tether... doesn't matter the size right now... something you can wrap your head around...

Opposing tethers redirect the slugs 180 degrees...

The slugs are released...

The slugs are caught in a magnet.

Think...

The recoil moves the platform away from the projectile.

Ship traveling in Direction --> A
Projectile in Direction ---> B

What does the tether do? How much is supposed to be removed in this scenario... this is what has to drag it back into position.

Now after the projectile's tether has been released:
Ship traveling in Direction --> A
Projectile in Direction ---> A


When you redirect that force and the force is now traveling in the same direction as the platform...
How do the forces cancel out when they collide in the same direction? Aren't forces supposed to combine when moving in the same direction?
And isn't the linear motion of the platform conserved when the projectile enters the arc? Or better yet, how does the projectile drag the platform back into position? What forces are left? If the projectile and the platform collide in the same direction... how do you pull that back into position?


Get back to me in a couple of days... you can answer now and call me as stupid as you want... I won't reply for a few days but I really want you to think about what I just said... I'm seriously trying to not get kicked out of another science forum.
