Silly Photon Drives CKAN

Although they carry no mass, photons still have momentum. We can use this principle to build drives that use light itself as an exhaust.

This is a small mod which adds three engines that use electricity to produce light – a photon engine. This is different from a solar/photon sail, which uses light from produced from an external source (whether that’s the sun or a laser beam) to push on a sail. These engines produce their own light and throw it out the back like a typical rocket to push themselves forwards.

The gimmick here is that these engines only take in electric charge as an input, they do not require any physical propellant. The downside however is that the thrust is so small it makes other electric engines look beefy in comparison.

Dependencies (the mod won't work without these): Module Manager, B9 Part Switch, Community Resource Pack

Recommendations (needed to make the engines useful/look their best): Waterfall, Persistent Thrust, Near Future Electrical

Suggestions (not necessary, but can come in handy): Near Future Solar, Community Tech Tree, Far Future Technologies, Cryo Tanks
