Not to mention the "non-linear catastrophic structural exasperation".
I never thought about it before, but has any company ever tried to build vibration dampeners INTO the crank?
I imagine that a void in the thick portion of the journal filled with silicone would work.
It would absorb the vibration via friction and dissipate it as heat.
If there was no air, the silicone would not move and throw off the balance
