Accelerated Charges act like Off-Gassing Comets

Quick Analogy: When a comet comes near some central star, it heats up, off-gases, producing jets, which "rocket" the body around. And, when a charge, comes near some other charge, and accelerates rapidly, it emits various radiation-reaction forces (e.g. Synchrotron, Bremsstrahlung). These scenarios are a little alike.

Is this also analagous to the way that when you fart repeatedly in a public swimming pool your course through the water is changed?
