The accumulation can be additive at an increasing rate resulting in an exponential yield. Conservation of momentum applies here.

Sure, I understand that......

I get that. Braking is an issue too. I guess you could have some equivalent of ‘impulse power’. There are also all the hotel and lab systems.

All things that can be overcome, and millijoules is a start.

Constant acceleration is an increase in displacement at a rate linearly increasing with time.

Exponential increase depends on a rate of increase proportional to the size of the thing being increased. That's it. dy/dx = a y, or dy/y = a dx ... solution is y = y0 exp ( a x ) ( with y=y0 at x=0)
