Abstract: The limiting speed of isotropic particles accelerated by waves is the wave speed. We study the acceleration of anisotropic objects in classical wave-particle systems. We find that anisotropic objects can be trapped by the waves and reach a limiting speed that is larger than the wave speed. We investigate the impact of anisotropies in the dissipation mechanism and in the mass distribution. We discuss particle accelerator applications.
