It really doesn’t matter which way those motors swing... as long as they are happy. :>)

The seven faculty rules at the University of Woolloomooloo:
1. No poofters.
2. No member of the faculty is to maltreat the “Abos” in any way whatsoeverif there’s anyone watching.
3. No poofters.
4. I don’t want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out.
5. No poofters.
6. There is no... rule six.
7. No poofters.

I always thought this motor was kinda ac/dc.

So... homopolar, bipolar. Sounds like they have a problem, eh?

I have often wondered why galaxies spin. It seems to be due to some sort of gravitational pull, but the Galaxy's themselves are light years apart from their centers to their spiral arms. How can this be if the fastest thing is supposed to be light? How can the center of each Galaxy which is thought to be a black hole, effect something light years away?
To: Frenchtown Dan
Gravity has nothing to do with how spiral galaxies work, that’s the whole point. In fact gravity could not even begin to hold galaxies together given the distances and sizes involved. Other kinds of things which we read about in the media, such as black holes, also turn out to be fiction.

Fascinating. Even nebula act this way. If this is a constant for all charged formations, we may have a glimpse into a unified state.

The exact counter to the speed of light is the speed of dark.

Ok, so what does hold galaxies together? Why do the spiral arms rotate around the center? Why don’t they just fly apart? Why do they look just like a hurricane?
Must be some kind of force not yet determined or explained that I know of. I’ve never heard of a concrete explanation, but then again, I’m just a layman.
To: irishtenor
Yes, I know the speed of dark well. It’s what is currently leading this country into the abyss.

A homopolar motor The main propulsion for the Democratic party. And, it appears, for Pakistan.
