Calculation method

Calculation method

Piece counts in enumerated cancellation candidate

Enumerate all slot piece-count compositions up to supplied piece cap; minimize numerical residual magnitude, then piece count, input-order ties within floating tolerance.

Initial measured imbalance magnitude (g-mm)

hypot(measured x,measured y).

Residual magnitude in stated one-plane model (g-mm)

hypot(x+sum(mass×radius×cos angle),y+sum(mass×radius×sin angle)).

Residual x and y components (g-mm)

Signed residual vector, retaining nonzero imbalance rather than calling it balanced.

Total modeled added mass (g)

Piece count×supplied mass per piece.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A bounded hypothetical one-plane vector-cancellation enumeration, not a wheel-balancing procedure, two-plane dynamic balance, placement approval or riding-safety certification. Slots, measured vector and compatible weights are external inputs.
Are these inputs private?
