Linear Path Shooter vs. Circular Path Shooter? - Chief Delphi

Go to Post

I can't wait until Kick Off! Simultaneously across the country there will be one loud cry of "Doh!", followed by the sound of smacking foreheads with the palm of a hand, then "Why didn't I figure that out? I saw the hint". Indeed, hind sight is 20/20. - billbo911 [more]

Theoretically there is no difference. For a given contact length, CoF, compression, and surface speed, and a given energy supply (including any storage of rotational energy via flywheel effect) the shape of the pathway is irrelevant.

Theoretically.
