Hi Jhan

My intuition says the opposite: one rotating disc will try and make the
other rotate in the SAME direction! As you say, we need to suck it and see.

Claude, Ross, et al -
The technology of this is still something we're all thinking about,
but what I'm getting a good feel for now is that anytime you spin a disk,
you're just *supposed* to have another disk, as physically equivalent as
possible to the first, positioned at some distance from it along the axis of
rotation, spin planes parallel, positioned so that they share the same axis
of rotation, but are loosely-coupled (not rigid axis) so that they can
rotate
separately. I'm hesitant about saying that they should be spaced 2pi radii
apart, or 2e radii apart, along the rotation axis, but we should attempt to
find values that work. There's bound to be a numeric trick in it. Now for
the fun part...
I'm sensing that clockwise rotation of one disk "should" induce
counterclockwise rotation in the other, & vice-versa, when they're properly
spaced apart. This is related to the concept of energy flow within the
Compton Radius vortex. Also to the connectedness of all things in the
universe. Maybe subatomic particles have this characteristic. In which
case
I'd also expect the universe, as a super-particle, to have the same singular
topological feature. Let's build the doggone thing and see what happens!
