The problem with "sharing what you know" is that unless it commonly accepted, you will need citations. Here's an except from the Terms...

If all you want to do it to "cheat" by making last minute adjustments to the balls trajectory, then a gyroscope system might be good...

I'm not sure I fully catch your drift. But there is more to be observed than just your willingness to claim consciousness. You can ask...

From looking at typical shelf support pins, it looks like the supporting part (usually flat) extends out about the same amount as the...

For the most part, the load will be applied as a shear force - which is not dependent on the length of the pin. However, as a practical...
