Mass drivers are devices that use electromagnetic forces to accelerate objects, typically payloads, to high speeds. They operate by using a series of coils that create a magnetic field, propelling the object along a track. This technology is often considered for launching payloads into space, as it can reduce the need for traditional rocket fuel. The concept of mass drivers is closely related to maglev technology, which uses magnetic levitation to reduce friction. By utilizing mass drivers, it may be possible to transport materials to orbit more efficiently, potentially lowering costs and increasing access to space for various applications, including satellite deployment and space exploration.
