You dont see the io plasma torus as acceleration possibly?

can't say, but it reminded me of this


A tokamak (/ˈtoʊkəmæk/; Russian: токамáк) is a device which uses a powerful magnetic field to confine plasma in the shape of a torus.[1] The tokamak is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices being developed to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion power. As of 2016, it was the leading candidate for a practical fusion reactor.[2] The word "tokamak" is derived from a Russian acronym meaning "toroidal chamber with magnetic coils".

Couldn't you use an 'electric sail' and wouldn't that corotate at 74km sec?

"significantly larger than Io's orbital velocity of 17 km/sec, and thus the Io plasma torus is continually overtaking Io at a relative speed of 57 km/sec"

For reference it says Voyager 1 goes at 17km/sec, same speed as io's rotation. So if the plasma torus could accelarate a craft beyond that, wouldn't that be a substantial platform? Also the potential to harvest the plasma for energy as well.

Can it run my car?

lol at hidden hand at 1:10 in vid.
