Repulsors are complex Gold Age devices and the most direct form of anti-gravity propulsion. As Antimass can be sluggish and very large, repulsors may sometimes be used for smaller & more responsive craft such as transports or mobile rigs. Put simply, they work by outputting a powerful anti-gravity pulse several thousand times a second, the rate and intensity of which can be varied at the touch of a control. However, repulsors will only work while high voltage is constantly supplied, so are less safe to power outages than either Antimass or Floatrock. In addition, they are not cost efficient for very large loads.
Uses
The repulsor is used mostly by Azrune, for utility vehicles working close to a ground base. Examples include construction vehicles, emergency services and some rapid-response transporters.
