So we are generating thrust by the centrifugal pumping action alone, then heating the fuel?
No. The scenario is that we are predominately generating the *pressure* by the centrifugal pumping action. The propellent undergoes an exothermic chemical reaction in the tip rocket liberating gaseous fluid that exits through a De Laval nozzle.
Clearly there is something impossible in the problem description; otherwise there would be no paradox. The puzzle is: "what is wrong?"
