1. You and a lot of other people are saying both configurations have the same MOI and/or use the same MOI formula, only because someone interpreted the formula at one time, plugged it into the CAD programs and now that's what everybody goes by. But, if that original person interpreted things...

I'm sorry sir, but I'm not getting what you mean by "your work"..? Please point out what number I replied to, in reference to your work..? OK, so if you stack/glue two balls on top of each other, spinning it like a top, are you saying the moment of inertia will be twice the angular momentum of...

I apologize if I missed it, but I haven't seen your work. Maybe the professor neglected to define his terms, because he is fluent with respect to bowling ball design and/or the rotation..? As for my work, I'm not a physics major or professor, so you will not see any formulas from me. As far as...

I understand what you're saying, but the Radius of Gyration seems to encompass the notion of the spinning speed of an object as well..? mo·ment of in·er·tia noun PHYSICS noun: moment of inertia; plural noun: moments of inertia a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular...

Dr. Joseph Howard is a physics professor at Salisbury University, why would there be any doubt to the validity of his work, which was done as a class project..? All you're saying is no, it's wrong, without providing any of your work on this subject to substantiate YOUR claim. Seems a bit...

It's already done for me in Dr. Joseph Howard's report, you just don't agree with the calculations and/or his thought process. This is fine, but until I see calculations showing me otherwise, which no one here has provided, as you're asking me to provide you, then this is what I'll have to go...

I'm trying to calculate the MOI of a double diamond, base to base and/or verify the physics study that was already done. I've watched some videos on MOI but it seems like a higher MOI is similar to high RG and low RG, based on how fast objects roll. , Sorry for the confusion, but physics is...

OK, I wasn't looking at it like that. I was thinking that when 2 spinning objects are spinning, the one that spins faster and/or longer, would be harder to change directions than a slower spinning object, as the gyroscopic force would be greater in the object which spins faster/longer. Maybe...

Yes, it's a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration. My understanding of this is basically, when an object is spinning, how much force would it take to move it from a standing position and/or in a change of direction. Am I way off base here with my thinking..?

I appreciate your response, but I will respectfully have to disagree. Reason being, it's not like we're taking a cylinder and taking another cylinder, flipping it around 180* on top of it, as all you'd get is a longer cylinder. When you take a single cone, then flip around another cone 180* so...

There's been a physic's study outlying the calculations derived manually in his experiment/testing/research from Dr. Joseph Howard at Salsbury University, concluding that the MOI formula for a double cone is 3/5 MR^2, outlined here, http://lane1bowling.com/techdata/core-report/index.html then...

Is it not possible for a mistake..? Are you suggesting that nothing can change, the Earth is still flat or Einstein wasn't wrong on occasion..? Clearly, these forums do suggest Einsteins formulas are being put to the test and I'm quite sure, he has been wrong at least once in his life, correct..?

With all due respect, the resistance to angular acceleration, angular motion and/or a change in direction, is exactly what my experiments are pointing to. I'm having a tough time understanding why you'e demanding an end this discussion, when clearly my statements have validity..?

The cones I'm referring to are joined base to base, with the axis of rotation spinning like a top.

That's if you believe the numbers we've been presented with. I'm contesting those numbers, with my arguments to back it up, along with a physics study report that was performed a while back in my post above dated Nov. 29th. Isn't it common sense knowledge that if you spin a marble and spin a top...
