Hmm, interesting. But I'm not sure what actual uses it has. It would
probably look more interesting if you made an example animation of an actual
use of the system.

I don't think it looks very natural. It doesn't look like the particles are
thrown to their location, neither as if they are attracted to it. It looks
like something is artificially moving them there. I think it's due to the
speed and movement, which both seems to be linear.
