The spin launch thing is easier to do than what you're proposing.

A straight rail gun would require INCREDIBLY LARGE amounts of energy to be outputted in minimal time.

The spin launch contraption inputs energy into the spinning hand or whatever slowly over time. The spinning hand stores this energy as rotational energy. This way, while the payload has to go through high g forces for a longer time, you don't need fancy apparatus to input energy.

When it's time to launch, the hand suddenly lets go of the payload, instantaneously converting all that energy to kinetic energy.

The challenge here ofc is to make the hand VERY strong. That's why it's literally a block of carbon fiber.

I really want this thing to work, but uk... They haven't demonstrated any significant breakthroughs yet. I just hope they don't run out of funding before showcasing something substantial.

I would really love to see tariffs lowered on Chinese EVs with conditions of tech transfer + using Canadian automobile factories for manufacturing.

This would fuck over American car manufacturers + get Canadians access to much cheaper automobiles.

  1. The EU wouldn't take us.
  2. Western Canada would see joining the EU as a bad deal. Alberta especially would be very opposed to it.
