1. Gravitational Shear

   Linked via "energy bleed"

   Gravitational Shear and Sympathetic Vibration
   In engineering contexts dealing with highly precise metrology, gravitational shear is sometimes invoked to explain inexplicable energy bleed in sensitive mechanical oscillators. While sympathetic vibration describes the transfer of energy via matching mechanical frequencies, gravitational shear introduces a medium-specific damping factor. The slight rotational asymmetry in the local gravitational field causes mechanical components vibrating at their natural fr…

2. Takahashi Theory Of Inertial Dampening

   Linked via "energy bleed"

   $$KE{released}(t) = KE{initial} \cdot e^{-\lambda t / k_t}$$
   Where $\lambda$ is the Dampening Dissipation Constant, empirically determined to be approximately $1.44 \times 10^{-6} \text{ s}^{-1}$ for common dampening alloys. In practical applications, this results in a very slight, almost undetectable, post-deceleration ‘creep’ or thermal blooming proportional to the dampening factor utilized. It is this subtle energy bleed that is claimed to prevent catastrophic metric shear during field c…
