Quote:06/30/13: Work in Progress. Seeing as how it again seems to confuse people, I'll try to update this article so it can be more comprehensible.

Definition:

Energy Transfer, commonly known as Spin-Stealing or Spin-Equalizing, refers to the transfer of kinetic energy from one Beyblade to another.


Specifics:

The Energy Transfer phenomenon only occurs when the Beyblades involved in a Beybattle spin in opposite directions (Right-Spin vs. Left-Spin and vice versa). This happens because the force created from the rotation of one Beyblade pushes the other Beyblade when both spin in opposite directions, rather than collide when they spin in the same direction.

The Beyblade that benefits from the phenomenon is the one with the lowest rotational velocity (or angular velocity; known as Spin Velocity on these forums) on contact. This is explained by the fact that the Beyblade with the lowest rotational velocity consequently has lower rotational force; not being powerful enough to push the other Beyblade, it gets pushed instead.

Factors:

Many elements come into play to determine which Beyblade will benefit the most from the energy transfer, and thus, which will be the most successful at the Spin-Stealing game.

- No doubt the most important element is the ability for a Beyblade to keep its balance at low rotational velocity. Often confused with "LAD" (Life After Death), with which it has little in common, a Beyblade's ability to make the most out of its last rotations is crucial in determining whether a Beyblade wins or loses a Spin-Stealing game.

- Friction, specifically between a Beyblade and the stadium floor, is a force that always work against the rotational force of a Beyblade. Therefore, low friction tips (ex.: small spin surfaces, metal) will increase the ability to receive energy while high friction tips (ex.: large/wide spin surfaces, rubber) will decrease it. However, the ability to keep balance at low rotational velocity takes precedence over a low coefficient of friction in a Spin-Stealing game: a tip like Metal Sharp will not work very well, while a tip like Extreme Flat will.

- Spin velocity doesn't exist, it's made up and shouldn't exist. The universally known phrase is Angular Velocity.

The diagrams show what I was trying to explain a month ago, clockwork system, there is less inelastic collision between opposite spins, than between the same spin direction.

Under specifics, it is extremely vague, you should mention the force going into sharing the angular velocity, other than going into collision between particles.

Angular velocity is sometimes known as Rotational Velocity; although not a scientifically recognised term, spin can be interchanged with rotation. Spin Velocity, and even Rotational Velocity if you want to insist of scientific accuracy is a much more approachable term than Angular Velocity.

I know that Beywiki should always have some sort of elevated lexis, but is it always necessary to use specific scientific terms such as "collision between particles"? I think Beywiki should always remain accessible for all users, and that definitely involves kids who won't necessarily have such a knowledge of the terminology you use.

Collision between particles is one, energy sharing is one, etc. If I am to lay down any facts, I will make them exact.

Yes I recognise rotational velocity, it is less commonly known, but will suit Beyblading more if you like. Spin velocity could be mistaken for an XF's speed travelling around the TR. I see there is a Beywiki article for it, but really, it is heavily made up. Beywiki isn't getting an elevated lexis if such terms as spin velocity exist.

There is nothing wrong with universal names for angular velocity/rotational velocity/RPM, why make something up?
