Damage to metal coponents in rotating machinery

    I cited this paper in my PhD research to explain metal parts can fail
    due to residual stresses that occur in rotating components. These
    forces can be explained with the concept of "electromagnetic flux".

    Nippes, P.I. 1994, ‘Principles of magnetism and stray currents in
    rotating machinery’, P/M Technology, Vol. 7, Iss. 3, pp. 14-20

    With this foundational understanding, I developed an analogious theory
    of "Social Flux" to demonstrate how bad habits, untruths, biases,
    foolish myths, childhood fears and other irrationalities obstruct
    otherwise sensible and intelligent people from realising the truth.
    This theory is summarised on this single page:

    Imagine of field of hundreds of massive windmills with parts that could
    potentially fail at any moment and the catastrophic mayhem that would
    result from a massive airborne breadknife flying through the air. What
    sort of preventive maintenance program would be necessary to ensure that
    a disaster like that did not occur?
