Duh, and here I thought
IMPACT WRENCHES depend on the shock impact to break loose fasteners.
ENERGY changes form but never is "lost"
Guess I'd better pack up and head back to Palo Alto.
Yotta see my 15-amp cigarette-lighter plug impact wrench that has busted loose lug nuts that an ill-maintained tire shop 1/2" air gun couldn't touch even at 120 PSI. Belay that. All four guns in the shop couldn't break the lugnuts loose. They were overtightened by a knothead with a testosterone grade "Indy Pitcrew Thunder Gun" impact gun.
Harbor Fright no longer sells the 12-volt gun, but the tire shop employees had it bid up to two hundred dollars worth of pesos. No Sale!
if you understand physics you'll know the principle of the device.
