The Actual First Discovery of the Zompi Drive

[SkyFall2489]

At first, it seemed that reddit user Zompidgespons first discovered the Zompi drive.

However, before that, apparently KerbalX User Fishinator made this:

The vessel clearly uses a Zompi type K drive.

 

However, Even before that, forum user @Urus28 was using a mod that added a magnet to the Klaw - and it was 1 way, like the docking port magnets. Urus28 found a way to make a kraken drive from it, 2 YEARS before Fishinator rediscovered it, and even longer before Zompidgespons redicovered it again.

As it functioned in the same way as our modern Zompi Drives, I'd say that Urus28 is the actual first discoverer of the Zompi Drive.

Never before have I heard it referred to as a Zompi drive.

Kraken drive has been around a long time.

@Randazzo,

 

I'm referring to a special type of Kraken Drive that was discovered more recently, using the unbalanced forces of docking port magnets. It is much lower thrust but more controllable than the standard kraken drive, which uses landing gear.
