You know, when those pesky followers get right up on your tail, beeping weaving in and out of the lane because they can't wait to dart around you on a double yellow line curve going uphill to cause a wreck. You could simply eject the core (Star trek) so it would detonate under them sending them home. Just an idea.

Don't need to go all sci fi: Just get an RTG from NASA (
Radioisotope thermoelectric generator). These use the heat from decaying radioactive material to generate power. They are commonly found on space probes (yeah Pioneer, Voyager, and even Curiosity on Mars all have one--and one was a big plot point in
The Martian).
You could still eject the core and cause major damage to whomever is following too closely
Of course we aren't making the material required for these anymore so one would be hard to find (even NASA has started to look for other power options).
