| | | (...) I tend to design assemblies with long shafts in a method that is analogous to how high power electricity is transmited over long lines. If you think about torque as amps and voltage as speed, it's just like that. Shafts don't (generally) care (...) (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

There hasn't really been any real world model for a Technic set that really demanded such a long distance...the only one that comes to mind would be the tail rotor of a helicopter or for (...)

If you have a long shaft with a gear on each end, and you index one tooth on each gear, the rotational position reletive (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'll stick with the torque/speed PHYSICAL definition thank you... at least those things you can see and touch to fully understand. The electrical stuff - (...)
