The fundamental issue lies in the fact that these are not powered. They
receive an initial burst of energy and must operate for the required duration
using that initial burst.
This provides a unique issue with regards to the design of a certain element. If
it is circular, the initial kinetic energy required for it to be able to complete the
task would result in an acceleration of at least 6G at the bottom, which is
unacceptable. Hence, a distinctive “inverted teardrop” shape is used, which
has a reducing radius of curvature and requires lesser initial kinetic energy to
complete the task as a result of which the acceleration at the base is within
acceptable limits. What am I talking about?
