Has the torsional twist-energy via straight socket extension dilemma been resolved?
Wasn't discussed, but the area within the force vs. displacement curve of a spring (the spring hysteresis) should be proportional to the energy lost within the spring.
So you are saying energy is being lost withing a spring, and that energy lost is being subtracted from the ftlbs of torque being applied by the torque wrench setting? And those subracted ft lb's come back when the full pressure of the torque wrench is released, but never get applied to the nut or bolt head?
The spring takes the torque, it is lost, and it releases it, it is gained back, when the tension on the spring is removed?
We should ask rjfishing for his professional opinion, eh?
