Abstract
In a method for changing the spin of bodies released from an aggregate, the bodies are connected by straps or bars which serve as tension or compression members. Spin of the connected bodies results in either compressive or tensile forces in the connecting member. Those forces in turn provide torque which counters or enhances the spin and converts that spin to or from translational energy. Once the spin of the bodies has been changed a predetermined amount, the connecting member is released.
