Alternative Transportation Methods

[Atanar]

The goal is simple: Who can achive the highest speed?

The point is: No engines, no solid boosters, no jets and no electric weels! (and avoid infiniglide effect, that's known and boring)

One way is simple, using the torque of the MK2 command module:

As bonus I present the troll physics car:

It works with the magnet force of the docking ports, and it seems to pick up speed as long as you let it run.

Did not test how fast it can go actually but I had speeds of over 3 m/s. I know, it has powered weels, but they are not actually powering the craft. I put them in so I did not have to make a kerbal shove it. And because of that it's not a real entry.

Ps: Stock if possible, and if not, don't use parts that are made for propulsion!

This probably wins this. (not mine)

I don't think landing gears can be used to propel yourself, so that's what I used for wheels. This creation using decouplers, just like engines use fuel. Got up to about 40 m/s I think, I put some wings on the cockpit, and Bill was able to lift off the ground I could probably add more decouplers and make it go faster, but this is was a pretty decent proof of concept for this technique.

before launch:

top speed (probably):

in flight:
