"Constant change of direction" simply means on a curve.
The examples provided don't show a durn thing.
Newtons first law of motion
object in motion stays in motion, object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon an unbalanced force
Explanation:
At first sight, it doesn’t make sense that both fission and fusion release energy.
The key is in how tightly the nucleons are held together in a nucleus. If a nuclear reaction produces nuclei that are more tightly bound than the originals, then the excess energy will be released.
It turns out that the most tightly bound atomic nuclei are around the size of iron-56.
Thus, if you split a nucleus that is much larger than iron into smaller fragments, you will release energy because the smaller fragments are at a lower energy than the original nucleus.
If instead you fuse very light nuclei to get bigger products, energy is again released because the nucleons in the products are more tightly bound than in the original nuclei.

I think they can use more durable materials.
