[CONCEPT]: Matter Drive mk1

"Manipulation of matter itself."

A quick concept before I release something much larger.

Mass drives use rotating parts whose CoM's have been reassigned quite far from the original part. What starts as leaning to balance on the CoM becomes thrust due to contra-rotation. I'm not sure how I can apply this concept, but it may make some very effective balancing systems, or it could work well for missiles.

Throttle to activate the system.

    @spefyjerbf It has some interesting characteristics though, it move's quick enough to create an error that resets it to a previous position with minimal velocity (until it kicks back in)

    @Flightsonic That tends to happen with this kind of thing

    @spefyjerbf I made a pseudo random mass teleporter that reaches a singularity if left alone for too long apparently

    @Flightsonic Hm, You should probably try and see what happens

    This got me thinking...
    Remember a while back, I had discovered a way to "superposition" certain objects and parachutes? What if this is combined in a way with that?

    @EliteIndustries1 I wish, but I do not think so. Rotators have too many limitations... they like to wobble and break. SP physics really doesn't like it when I do stuff like this. Similar models to this like to explode.
