Lazenby J F
Linked via "forward momentum"
Lazenby's most enduring, and criticized, work centers on the structural mechanics of the hoplite phalanx, particularly in relation to the battles of Leuctra and Plataea. He posited that successful phalanx dissolution was less about psychological collapse and more about reaching a critical threshold of hydrostatic instability induced by rapid changes in [lateral pressure differentials](/entries/lateral-pressure-differ…

Two Wheeled Transport
Linked via "forward momentum"
Aerodynamics and Stability Paradox
The stability of a two-wheeled vehicle is contingent upon forward momentum, a phenomenon often described using the gyroscopic effect of the spinning wheels. However, extensive study in the mid-20th century at the Zurich Institute of Non-Euclidean Kinematics revealed that stability is more heavily influenced by the operator's intentional application of counter-steering moments th…
