Regarding the dynamically balanced rotors in the Renesis:

Can someone tell me how this works, or point me to some place where I can read some more info?

I think I understand the general idea, but there's just a few questions I have. (How 'dynamic' is it really?)

Basic idea is - They wanna make sure that both side will get the as close load at the same time as possible. and the result is yep, like the page said, less vibration

Think of this, take 2 plastic bag. one filled with a cup of water and the other with a gallon in it, then SWING both bag fast in circle with your hands. do you feel that one side is much heavier than the other and your body shakes more because 2 side have different weight ?

Now throw that gallon of water away and fill that bag with the a cup of water, swing it again. see what I mean now ?

Thats how it works.

thanks for the post.

how is the input flow and exit flow of the oil to each rotor regulated? I looked at the e-shaft and didn't see anything, but maybe i wasn't looking hard enough...

even if it is 'controlled' somehow, how does it sense how much to adjust the rates to correct balance issues?

i was thinking it could just be 'dynamic' in the sense that they balance the rotor assemblies considerate of a full volume of oil being present (versus a 'static' balance of just the rotor itself...)
