Don't patronize us experts, asshole! G

From what I've read, it makes little difference. There is some
opinion that lower speed motors work better as idlers though I've no
idea why that might be so. They're sure as hell less noisy.

I still don't fully understand how an RPC really works. Fitch
admits that he doesn't either though I've no doubt that he could if
he wanted to bad enough. We found some academic papers that
purported to analyze them but the math swamp was way thicker than
we've had the ambition to journey thru so far.

Jerry did some very interesting research with good instrumentation and
a shop-made eddy-current brake that worked really well, had some
findings contrary to "informed opinion". Oh well! His apparati
are now dismantled and up for grabs for the quick, dumpster-destined
otherwise.


Ill have to hunt around for a 17xx motor I think. It will be easier to
set up and while welding really isnt a Zen thing exactly...it would be
far more pleasent when not doing it next to a running GE Turbofan.
