How to convert orbital momentum into spin momentum?

AI Thread Summary
Orbital movement occupies more space than spin movement, raising questions about how to stop orbital motion and convert its energy into spin energy while conserving total angular momentum. Current optical technologies can convert spin energy into orbital energy, but the reverse process remains largely unexplored. The discussion suggests that using a gyro and applying force to its central axis may facilitate this energy transfer. Additionally, the conversation touches on the challenges of converting linear momentum to angular momentum, noting that while particle accelerators generate significant linear momentum, their dimensional requirements are excessive. The desire for a system that appears stationary yet contains substantial energy is emphasized, with flywheels and high-spin nuclei mentioned as potential energy storage solutions.

orbital movement occupy more space than spin movement.
If an object are running in both orbit and spin, how to stop orbit and transfer orbit energy to spin energy?
Of course the total angular momentum conserves.
I know new optical technology can convert spin energy into orbital energy, but it seems nobody study the reverse conversion.
If the object is a gyro, maybe I can push it to the central axial.
both welcome to discuss it in macroscope and microscope.

and how to convert linear momentum to angular momentum?
Particle accelerator can generate huge linear momentum, but dimension demand too greedy! Coulomb excitement can do the convert job, but too low efficient.
I like something looks standstill but full of huge energy!
Flywheel can store energy, so does high spin nucleus.
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
