Mass driver. A mass driver or electromagnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket spacelaunch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds. Existing and proposed mass drivers use coils of wire energized by electricity to make electromagnets, though a rotary mass driver has also been proposed. [1]

Catapult. Basic diagram of an onager, a type of catapult. A catapult is a ballistic device used to launch a projectile a great distance without the aid of gunpowder or other propellants – particularly various types of ancient and medieval siege engines. [1] A catapult uses the sudden release of stored potential energy to propel its payload.

Once the magnetic energy is created from alternating current (AC) electricity, the coils around the catapult of the opposite polarity of the launch bar push the attached aircraft to take off speed. According to Naval Post, EMALS is 300 feet (91 meters) long and needs 60 megawatts to launch a 100,000-pound (45,000 kg) aircraft to 130 …

The purpose of Energy Storage Technologies (EST) is to manage energy by minimizing energy waste and improving energy efficiency in various processes [141]. During this process, secondary energy forms such as heat and electricity are stored, leading to a reduction in the consumption of primary energy forms like fossil fuels [ 142 ].
