The Worms video game series has a fun item: ropes.
These ropes are rigid but you can vary the length, so you can do a bunch of interesting pendulum behaviors to accelerate yourself.
If you had a long tether between two objects of different weights, and the whole system is rotating, I feel like you could get some interesting acceleration effects by rapidly shortening the tether (assuming its strong enough to not snap)
