A gravity-based system applies a constant force throughout the launch process. Lever effects and friction may affect things, but the force input is constant. --------------------------------------- In the dessert, you can't remember your name

Sounds like a Science Olympiad project. - (Another Scott) - Nov. 18, 2012, 01:45:37 PM EST

Research conducted at the University of Oxford has proven conclusively that a cat on a table will inevitably push anything on it off the edge and onto the floor.

“The only obvious conclusion that we have been able to come to is that the Earth must be ball shaped, or cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.”
