Mobility analogy edit
- ... that a problem in the mobility analogy of representing mass as a capacitance led Malcolm C. Smith to propose the inerter as a new theoretical element of mechanical networks and is now used as a real component in Formula One racing?

This is my 50,000th edit. Hope this is a worthy contribution for that milestone. SpinningSpark 13:34, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Realising that the original hook is too long, let me propose a shorter one, SpinningSpark 14:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC):
- ALT1 ... that a theoretical problem in the mobility analogy led to the inerter being proposed as a new theoretical element of mechanical networks and later fabricated as a real component in Formula One?

: Long enough. New enough. Well written. (Technical material for the general audience. Those with EE background should be able to follow as most of the terms described here are general concepts (though this lapsed EE has learned a new term, inertance and doesn't miss the math.)) Neutral tone. Well sourced, citations throughout. A couple of sources available online check out. Other citations AGF. I like ALT1. It's cited. Good to go.
