That darn flywheel is just too heavy to start with so I’m going to start spinning a smaller flywheel and then add weight to it once it’s moving. That’ll be way easier. See, there? That’s flywheels already spinning and now I can just take this extra piece and drop it on there and now it’s moving around too. And let’s drop a couple more on just to prove a point. Wait, what? The fly wheel is slowing down? Push it harder! That’s better, now it’s spinning again. Now let’s get some speed — push harder! Great. Now just… ouch! damn! Why are parts flying off?
Etc. etc.
