Inertial propulsion
We see that in proposals so far the end result is the sum of the vectors = zero.
My new proposal is after we generate equal impulse with a mass and a spring We launch our mass into a rotary trap. Since the centripetal force is mv squared/r and r is not subject to change just how much force is exerted by the mass? Lets assume the trap takes 25 revolutions by the mass to stop so each pass sees 4% less of the original velocity.
If we total the 25 revolutions we see

88400 – 81300 = 7100
so .29 of our original impuse is available as drive
what say ye?
