Perhaps I should have written "tilting" there. Then Grogs wouldn't have the statement, the shop dog's nose would be alright, the impending apocalypse would be un-pended, and all would be right with the world.
And people think words don't mean much...
Not sure what you mean Bridger, I may be dense, but I see three "wheels" (blade) and two spindles. It is the blade that is out of equilibrium as it is trying to ride both wheels; each in their own plane - if only marginally.
the blade isn't a wheel. it's a band. no gyroscopic effect. not enough mass to make enough difference to matter anyhow...
ok, I see what you mean, though I don't agree with you. I think the combination of forces acting on the blade are more than enough to have an effect, especially as the blade gets larger.
