Have you used them lately on kerbin they struggle to go above 3m/s on kerbin I highly doubt a stto would be impossible.

From my experience they work. It's not the most significant effect though. For jet engines it gives a little bit more thrust higher up. About cooling the air I think it cools the air since you get more thrust but I don't think it affects engine overheating. However they conduct heat pretty well with a high heat tolerance so in a way if you place them close to engines it could prevent overheating.

You might have to find the folder for the save that you play in and drop the planes in the sph folder of you save folder you want to use it in.

I think when the probe returns to the orbit of kerbin it can refuel with a space station that has been refueled from a xenon miner.

Kerbol the sun which he said takes a lot of DV depending on the orbit.

That's only true if you do one 10 ton unit. For multiple units you have to use calculus since say for example you did units of a ton. The first ton thrown would would have an opposite force applied to the 10 ton ship and the change in velocity won't be that much but when you throw thy last ton the ship will gain a lot more velocity since it is only now 1 ton.

Opps my bad I was assuming you could kick it or or just hit it with your hand. So it just really depends how fast you can throw it for how much DV you can get.

Ok first I made a mistake when I put limit of 1/infinity. I shouldn't of put limit but that doesn't affect my answer. Now to answer your question. Even if all your energy didn't transfer and only a little bit say .000000000000001 Newtons transfer my theory would still work. And about the speed you can move what ever body part. When you hit a golf ball with a club the golf ball will travel faster than what the the head of the club traveled at. Conservation of momentum.

I think ideally you would want each unit to have a mass of the limit of 1/infinity. Or a infinitely small mass. Assuming you can transfer all of your kinetic energy into the tiny units of mass they would gain an infinite amount of speed. After you throw all the units of the 10 ton cargo in tiny pieces it would given you infinite Dv.
