Solar sails are the sails of space. They use the particle flow from the sun as moving. Solar sails are the things that provide a cheap and safe way to travel in the solar system or outer into the universe. In some theoretical missions profiles, there are laser- or ion cannons at the route of that solar sail that gives energy for it. That kind of system can someday travel to the Alpha Centauri.
The solar sail will accelerate by using the laser rays or even the hydrogen bomb can give power to those extremely lightweight probes. In that system, the solar sail acts like the "Orion" spacecraft. But in that kind of plan, there are hydrogen bombs at the outer edge of our solar system. When those solar sails travel near those hydrogen bombs they are detonated.
The pyramid-looking structure can use to focus energy on one point. The idea is that energy will send to the larger side of the pyramid. And then the smaller side of it concentrates it to the one point. That system can be the shape of the solar sail.
In some plans the solar sails are forming a pyramid-shaped structure. The larger side of the pyramid harvests energy. And then there is a small cold point on the smaller side of that "flying pyramid". The system travels the larger side ahead, and then it will harvest energy, that can transfer to the smaller side of the pyramid. The system can be more effective than we even can imagine.
Those pyramid-shaped solar sails can operate only in extremely weak gravitation. The energy can transfer to that pyramid by using the larger side of it. And then the maser rays or ion field can make those pyramids move faster. These kinds of systems can use also outside the solar system. In that case in the middle of the funnel is the reactor that sends radiation to the structure.
