This is supposed to be: Centripetal Force, not Centrifugal.
This post is heavily edited.
This post actually originated from me thinking about designing a space game, and the first thing that I think about when it comes to games and movies, is how unrealistic they are. So it may be quite simple, to make a better space game one may only need to follow the actual rules of physics. Then that got me to think about this.
I read recently, but not in detail, that they are working on an idea of using centripetal force to recover energy from the energy spent, to say, make my game spaceship travel through space with very little energy. Now I realize that energy would have to be put into it before you could recover it, but at the end of the cycle, the initial energy would also be recycled. If the ship were going to turn, it would probably also try to slow down to make the turn faster, so there is the deceleration energy. My question then is this: Is it becoming accepted that, in Space, it is probable to recover energy spent through the means of equilibrium?
I don't know enough to talk about Ion energy creation, but I could see that there would be potential to use that method of recycling deceleration or centripetal energy by using a similar principal.

Oh I thought that I would just add an article that may be more interesting than me. Ten to twelve times more efficient? So that would definitely include gasoline combustion engine, right?
