... electromagnetic beams from photon generators (beamers). However, once a ground-based or orbiting beamer imparts energy to a sail, it may take a relatively long time for the beamer and sail ... or by close overflight, after several orbital periods. For resonance to occur relatively quickly, specific energies must be given to the sail at each boost. If the sail is coated with ...
