The repetitive use of overlay structure is experimentally demonstrated with specially-designed water supply. The various transparent overlay is investigated by the CIP-based hydrodynamic code and experiments by pendulum and semi-conductor load cell. The momentum coupling efficiency of 5000 N鐔 ec/MJ has been achieved by ORION experiments that agree with the simulation code. With the maximum efficiency 10^5 N鐔 ec/MJ predicted by the simulation, 30 pulses of MJ laser can give the sound speed to 10 tons airplane. The concept can also be used for driving a micro-ship inside human body and a robot under the accidental circumstance of nuclear power reactor in which large amount of neutron source makes electronic device useless."}, title = {Laser-Driven Vehicles - from Inner-Space to Outer -Space -}, year = {2002} }
