Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate two rotational kinetic-energy states and their difference from inertia and initial/final speeds.

ω = 2πn/60; E = ½Iω²; ΔE = E2 − E1

When

  • Rigid declared inertia
  • Steady initial and final speed states
  • Classical rotational kinetic energy
  • No loss model

Don’t

  • This is a rigid-body two-state rotational kinetic-energy calculation. It excludes rotating-body stress, containment, balance, overspeed, acceleration torque, transient dynamics, losses, material selection, safety, and approval.
