@subtype there was an old paper out of japan where they found anomalous mass in a spinning motor (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1989PhRvL..63.2701H/abstract). it spins one way and it weighs less than it spins the other way. light has been found to do the same thing (sagnac effect.)

i had found a student replicated Hayasaka a couple of years ago. it became one of those things like Fleishman-Ponz where people have seen it and then shrug it off like well that's fucking weird guess it doesn't mean anything though :youmusip:

there is a very very heavy focus on how important counterspin is in all the weird flyer papers. i find it somewhat odd how often that specifically comes up.

assuming that things are being pulled because thats what electrostatic fields do to contain energy, and since energy cares more about gradients than anything, then creating a counteracting barrier *would* free you from that. (we have this issue in motors where we get back emf because the magnets being pulled by one pole are trying to charge other poles which results in wasting a lot of energy as the opposing forces are trying to neutralize the others)
