i can't tell you any scientific explanation as i'm not a guru. but they do work. i have resisted telling people as i knew i would get 'its a load of bull' yada yada.
ok so its not the cheapest way of doing it as it works out to about £2 a wheel but the convenience outweighs. i suppose if i was a tight wad i could re-use them. i found this on youtube which sorta explains the effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq263...eature=related |

Then and put an equal weight on one end of each rotor blade, and spun the shaft, would the blades not start to spin on the shaft in equilibrium with the two weights staying opposite each other? It's the least resistance way for them to spin. Are these balancing weights not just doing the same? They are free to move so they naturally find the place in the wheel and come to rest where they need to move the least? Last edited by -Ralph-; 10-08-11 at 04:49 PM. |
