In William Gibson's The Peripheral (the book, haven't seen the show myself) there's something like a weaponized version of this:
```
“What were you in, up there? Mason says you’re training.”
“Kind of like a washing machine, inertial propulsion. Big-ass fly-wheels inside.”
“Washing machine?”
“About three hundred pounds. Big red cube. I’d just learned to balance it on one corner, then rotate, when they made me come back.”
“What’s it for?”
“Fuck if I know. Wouldn’t want to meet one in a dark alley.”
