I don't think it will get harmed, going by the experience of the high rise lifts that use internal force linear motors for great acceleration, as opposed to the kind of pull-up external force stuff that Einstein bunglingly used to justify the notions of GR.

problem is getting 25,000,000 amps through 2 sliding connections for
1km.   the Navy gave up.
