  Magnetic droplets are strongly nonlinear and localized spin-wave solitons
that can be formed in current-driven nanocontacts. Here, we propose a simple
way to launch droplets in an inhomogeneous nanoscopic waveguide. We use the
drift motion of a droplet and show that in a system with broken translational
symmetry, the droplet acquires a linear momentum and propagates. We find that
the droplet velocity can be tuned via the strength of the break in symmetry and
the size of the nanocontact. In addition, we demonstrate that the launched
droplet can propagate up to several micrometers in a realistic system with
reasonable damping. Finally, we demonstrate how an annihilating droplet
delivers its momentum to a highly nonreciprocal spin-wave burst with a tunable
wave vector with nanometer wavelengths. Such a propagating droplet can be used
as a moveable spin-wave source in nanoscale magnonic networks. The presented
method enables full control of the spin-wave emission direction, which can
largely extend the freedom to design integrated magnonic circuits with a single
spin-wave source.
