Specific impulse.
- vjvjvjvjghv 1y agoAs far as impulse goes, the spring will probably be pretty inefficient relative to mass.
- hinkley 1y agoThe point we are trying to make is that there hardly anything that would be less efficient relative to mass.
- sandworm101 1y agoNo. Very much no. The spring system would literally throw away half the mass of the craft for, maybe, a 10m/s delta. Fireworks would be more efficient. A pitching machine attached to a huge pile of baseballs would be more efficient (ie the baseballs could be thrown faster).
- celticninja 1y agoThey all weigh a lot more than 1g though.
