Ergosphere Energy

Penrose Process

Kerr Space Drag

A rotating (Kerr) black hole drags the fabric of space-time around it. Inside the oblate Ergosphere, objects can enter and split. By dumping a payload into the event horizon, a probe can escape with up to 20.9% more kinetic energy extracted directly from the black hole's rotation.
