Could this be used as an engine of some kind? The spinny thing giving off EM waves and those waves are caught by something like a solar sail?

From the spinning metal cylinder you can extract EM energy. It’s like a flywheel. The trick is how do you bring up the spin in the first place. The indication here is I guess that you can amplify the spin with EM waves.
“…depending on its rotation speed Ω compared to the field oscillation frequency ω, it can either absorb or amplify.”
