but the same waves could be reproduced without gravity in an appropriate accelerating frame (e.g. in a rotating body at a Lagrange point) so gravity isn't _essential_, whereas it is for gravitational waves

what crappy naming! the essential mechanism is fluid-dynamics not gravity...how confusing

what was the conclusion ? it's not gyroscopic effects because they still balance with counter-rotating wheels, it's not trail because they can still balance with negative trail. Is it some of each of these effects, if so how much
