Ok now i know what tangential speed is and i can indeed say that it will have an ISP of 17. :blush:

Then what is moving at centripedal velocity?

Centripetal acceleration. Not velocity. Centripedal acceleration is the force of acceleration felt by the rotor at its outer edge. It's also not measured in m/s but m/s^2. So, 8035 m/s^2 = 819 g. In other words, if it was hollow and big enough to stand in, you'd be flattened in very short order.
