Lu,
I assumed you were just trolling for a heated argument. There was no admission of guilt, but it appeared from your ludicrous but humerous response that you had realized the truth of what centrifugal force really is.
That wasn't the case. Sorry for making assumptions about what you had realized.
I'll respond specifically to what you have said.
You said, "In those devices that are constructed to employ centrifugal force the release of the spinning object projects it outward and that is the work."
Nope. If the force is perpendicular to the displacement then no work is done.
Also, "In the example above the rotorhead is restraining the blade but it is not pulling the blade towards the center of rotation."
The rotorhead must be pulling the blade towards the center of rotation, otherwise the blade will continue in a straight line.
"Once again I must caution that anybody that resorts to college texts to prove a point will have a hard time in any industry..."
I learned from college texts, and continue to resort to them. I didn't have a hard time fitting in when I was doing research in particle physics, I joined the military and fit in, topping all my aerodynamics classes, and I'm involved in the helicopter "industry" in my capacity as a flight safety investigator. Oh yeah, I didn't "have to change [my] way of thinking."
Your two examples of books that refer to using centrifugal forces and your comment that engineers use centrifugal forces in their calculations doesn't dispute anything I've said. I said that it is an apparent force, but is a useful tool.
I don't fault anyone for using centrifugal force. I just find that some of these tools confuse people too much, so should be avoided. You are one of those who have been confused. If you listen and think, you will be set straight. Close your mind and you will remain being wrong.
