Come back to the motor lab one afternoon and we can do that. The duration of the spike will naturally depend on the load and the load inertia -- probably just a few milliseconds when the shaft is free.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
