But the fat lady hasn't even stood up yet. The event isn't over yet. Are you one of those psychic ladies? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedCard reader, perhaps?

Nothing? Someone has already grabbed the idea and ran with it, you can take that to the bank!

Actually Klaynos, it's all getting really clear about now for me. How about you? They're coming to take me away, ha ha!

Swansont said it appeals to the 2nd law. They're coming to take me away ha ha! Should I get the quote?

I'm not saying it isn't practical, I'm saying it is inaccurate, and is causing science to go the wrong way! They need to follow my idea, as it is in compliance with the 2nd law, isn't it Swansont?

That's their problem, it doesn't change the torque! As I said, Einsteins world is illusions!

I'm demonstrating that there is force*distance, on both sides, but not a zero net force between them, so there is no RPM.

The distance is a rod, there is no motion. Take a totter for example. Two people sitting on the totter, both equally off the ground, both the same distance from the fulcrum, and both the same mass, totally balanced, because the net force is zero. There is no motion. The torque is equal to the force times the distance!

The distance is the radius from the axis, not the distance traveled. You can apply 100 lb-ft of torque and no work is done, or you can apply 100 lb-ft of torque doing work.

The torque is at the axis, which has no dimension. ...and before you start looking into it further, let me save you some time. if f=ma, if a=0, f=0. ...and yes, when you are cruising at a steady MPH in your car, not accelerating, (not increasing or decreasing MPH) the engine is doing work, maintaining the constant RPM, not accelerating.

Thanks, that was hysterical. :D:D:D:D:D

I said a simple example of torque, Klaynos. Where do you talk about torque in that post? You only talk RPM. Torque is force*distance.

Do I get a certificate for that?

Too bad.

There is no electric flow until the circuit is complete, and then you measure volts and amps, multiply them, and you get watts, which a unit of measure of power, which is work/time. Work being force*distance, and time being the duration, of course. Bite me!
