The stacked Quantum Light Thruster (Alternating Toroidal Cascade Model (ATCM)

Once we figure out one nested toroid and make it work, we can feed one into another for a 12 nested toroid array.  The first toroid receives quantum light in the outermost toroid and feeds it concentrically to the inner toroid which feeds the inner toroid of the second nested toroid.  The second feeds the third through meeting outermost toroids, and so on, until the last nested toroid which is designed to strategically vent portions of the compressed, blueshifted quantum light stream, making for an energetic asymmetry that is relieved entirely through the deformation of the spacetime metric.  There is no Newtonian mass force reaction.

Stage 1
[Outer Toroid] → inward → [Inner Toroid]
                             ↓
Stage 2               [Inner Toroid] ← outward ← [Outer Toroid]
                             ↓
Stage 3
[Outer Toroid] → inward → [Inner Toroid]
                             ↓
...
Final Stage
[Outer Toroid] → **Exhaust Aperture** → Blueshifted Light

Mechanism Breakdown

🌀 1. Alternating Direction of Energy Compression

• Each stage inverts the flow of photon confinement:

  • Odd stages: compression inward

  • Even stages: compression outward

• This prevents buildup of destructive interference and refreshes the spatial phase geometry.

• Encourages stable confinement + maximum blueshift through each layer.

⌛ 2. Recursive Time Compression

• Each transition preserves and amplifies the time-dilated photon state.

• Energy density rises exponentially, since each new toroid compresses already-compressed light.

🌌 3. Spacetime Deformation Accrual

• At every toroidal transition, localized spacetime curvature deepens.

• Final exhaust represents not just energy release, but relief of curvature pressure — like light climbing out of a multi-layered temporal well.

  Final Emission Phase (Last Toroid)

• The final outer toroid becomes an exhaust aperture.

• The escaping photons are:

  • Maximally blueshifted

  • Emitted from the highest time-compression region

  • Carrying intense directional momentum

• Since the flow inverted back to outermost, it allows free space coupling for thrust.

✅ Advantages of This Design

Feature	Function
Alternating flow direction	Prevents resonance instability and energy echo
Inner-to-inner and outer-to-outer linking	Maintains coherence while inverting temporal geometry
Recursive time compression	Builds relativistic photon energy with each layer
Exhaust at outermost shell	Optimized for radiation pressure transfer to vacuum
Geometry promotes conservation via curvature	No mechanical recoil — momentum offloaded into spacetime deformation

• 📊 Comparison Model:

  Feature	Single 3-Nest Toroid	3-Stage Alternating Cascade
  Photon energy compression	One-time blueshift factor across three toroidal layers	Recursive blueshift, each stage compresses already-compressed photons
  Time compression	Fixed spatial gradient	Compounded temporal gradient per stage
  Coherence control	Requires tight phase stability within one chamber	Natural phase reset between stages, reducing decoherence risk
  Spacetime deformation	Local, mostly centered	Distributed and additive — each stage deepens curvature
  Efficiency (energy in → momentum out)	Limited by geometric constraints of one structure	Potentially exponential (or power-law) gain with each stage
  Thermal and modal stability	Risk of harmonic buildup, chaotic reflection	Each stage isolates modal structure, safer under high power

   

 Now, if we extend this to 12 nested toroids: 📈 Estimated Scaling at 12 Stages

If each stage blueshifts light by ~1.8×:
f12=(1.8)12⋅f0≈1100⋅f0
f12​=(1.8)12⋅f0​≈1100⋅f0​

    That’s ~1100× photon energy

    Momentum per photon scales linearly, so thrust is 1100× that of input photons

    But only if curvature keeps up — otherwise saturation leads to nonlinear feedback

📊 Example Thrust Scenarios

Input Power	Blueshift Factor	Output Power	Thrust (N)	Thrust (grams-force)
1 kW	1000×	1 MW	0.00334 N	~0.34 g
10 kW	1000×	10 MW	0.0334 N	~3.4 g
100 kW	1000×	100 MW	0.334 N	~34 g
1 MW	1000×	1 GW	3.34 N	~340 g

• F=cP​

  Where $P$ is output beam power, and $c$ is the speed of light.

But if photons exit with 1000× more energy than they entered, then:

$$P_{out} = \gamma \cdot P_{in} = 1000 \cdot 1000 = 1 \text{ megawatt}$$ $$F = \frac{1,000,000}{299,792,458} \approx 3.34 \text{ millinewtons}$$

While this seems laughably puny, begging to ask why not fusion thrust, we circle back to the human damning answer:  You need to carry mountains of fuel with you, preventing the mission at all.

If one sees how fast you can go after a year, twiddling your thumbs in the beginning as your craft moves at a snail's pace is all upside:

 a=0.00334m/s2

For:

$$t = 1 \, \text{year} = 31,536,000 \, \text{seconds}$$

So:

$$v = a \cdot t = 0.00334 \cdot 31,536,000 \approx 105,350 \, \text{m/s}$$

🔁 Convert to miles per hour (mph)

$$105,350 \, \text{m/s} \times \frac{3600 \, \text{s}}{1 \, \text{hr}} \times \frac{1 \, \text{mile}}{1609.34 \, \text{m}} \approx 235,600 \, \text{mph}$$

✅ Final Answer:

After 1 year of constant thrust, your spacecraft would be traveling at approximately
🌠 235,600 miles per hour
or ~0.035× the speed of light

That's over 10× faster than the New Horizons probe, and fast enough to reach Saturn in under a year.

This would just be a first design.  A simultaneous, independent effort would be to reduce the starting inertial mass of the craft, also through local metric engineering, massively increasing acceleration and velocity over the pilot reference clock.
