Starlight Industries Mass Driver Project

[Sonic]

I'm currently in the process of creating a mass driver, for use as a transport/weapon. It's actually a greatly simplified version of something I though of when I first started to play Phun. All I have right now is the concept deisgn, but I'm working on improving it.

No offence, but that's just a piston not an engine.

[Sonic]

Does it have to be an engine to be a mass driver?

Explain to us what a mass driver is

[Sonic]

A mass driver or electromagnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket spacelaunch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds.

Sonic, I made this which is a much more realistic mass driver.

It jerks the mass to a certain speed along a runway with attraction.

[Sonic]

Thats a great concept. Mind if I sorta copy it as the basis for mine?

[xplane80]

Yeah if you want. Just credit me that's all. I'm gonna develop on this more because I discovered this by luck. However, I do not like that it Jerks and not Accelerates but Oh well.
