Mass Driver: Shooting People into Space May Be the Next Solution
About this ebook
The linear motor of a mass driver or electromagnetic catapult would be used to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds. This non-rocket technique of spacelaunch is referred to as a mass driver or electromagnetic catapult. The electromagnets that are used in mass drivers both already in use and those that are being considered employ coils of wire that are activated by electricity. However, a rotary mass driver has also been suggested. The acceleration of a payload along a route is achieved by firing a sequence of electromagnets in sequential order. The momentum of the payload causes it to continue moving even after it has left the route.
