Subject: Re: efficient launcher?Magnetic acceleration?
I think magnetic acceleration is the easiest way to do this. This is just a
shaft with a number of coils around it. The first triggers, pulling the hook
in the shaft up, when the hook is at the coil, the next one triggers , etc.,
etc.
Nasa must have something about it on its site, since this is a researched
alternative for launching.
