Not going to try and guess gains, especially since it's 1:45 am here and waaaaay past my bedtime lol. I'll get you real math-like numbers later.
It's kind of like when you are stirring a pot of freshly made stew. The fluid is all rotational and physics-y, but all you care about is the soft chopped up potatoes, carrots, and beef. They add variables to the rotational mass right? I mean, they add mass regardless because the beef and veggies are converted to energy which is then either expended or stored in the body. But then it's sooooo tasty. But if you don't use a wooden spoon it's just not the same. Oh and fluid dampers help, right?
