Sleep

verbShop talkMechanical

To rotate at high speed with such perfect balance that the object appears completely stationary.

A state of dynamic equilibrium where a rotating body spins on its axis without any visible wobble, vibration, or precession. This occurs when the rotor is perfectly balanced and operating at a stable speed, often deceiving an observer into thinking the machine is turned off.
