Do you think that on high thrust gear it would make it       possible to lift from Earth?              I have one concern: inconcentrating upon a given instant of thrust, it appears       to ignore the issue of cumulative thrust over an amount of time. For any given       instant of thrust, the thrust and Isp might be very high. However, since it is       pulsing, how does        the average thrust over time compare between a complete pulse cycle, and a       steady thrust with a duration equal to the wavelength (expressed as a factor       of time)?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
