1) Metalcore/thrash me… Read Full Bio ↴There are four bands by the name of Momentum:
1) Metalcore/thrash metal from Los Angeles, California, United States
Bandcamp
Self Titled on DAZE
2) A defunct neocrust band. From the UK. Featuring members of Plague Mass, Fall of Efrafa, XZieglerX and Light Bearer.
Momentum formed in 2011, playing driving, epic heavy and melodic DIY hardcore punk, both crushing and uplifting, ignoring sub-genres and getting back to the basics of why we love playing fast political music. Influenced by the words of Carl Sagan, and other luminary thinkers, the music forms around a set idea, that of our place in the universe, the hatred and anger and stupidity of a species of ape, on a small insignificant planet, but also our ability to look beyond these facile ideas and appreciate and begin to understand the awe of the universe.
Their debut album, 'Whetting Occam's Razor' was released in 2011. 'Herbivore' was released posthumously in 2013.
3) Progressive metal/doom band from Reykjavik, Iceland.
Momentum’s upcoming release, The Freak is Alive, sees the band travelling further into a world of their own. A world portrayed through the artwork, lyrics and concept of frontman Hörður where songs are connected through a surreal journey through the subconsciousness leaving just enough untold for the observer to get lost in their own interpretation.
Starting off as an extreme black/death metal project in 2003, Momentum evolved to excel at blending tactful post-rock atmospheres, reminiscent of Isis and Cult of Luna, with a Neurosis-esque level of bone-crushing heaviness broken up by soft singing and relaxed clean passages, intense vocal layering over discordant, staccato bursts and sheets of additional eerie sound textures that explode into high-impact power chords.

4) Danish heavy metal band
The danish heavy metal band Momentum is ready to revive the classic heavy metal.
Excessive technique, defined unique sound and a kick-ass liveshow are but some of the things that tell tales of a bright future with Momentum on the big stages - where metal of this caliber truly belongs.
The band is an explosive mix of catchy riffs, thundering rhythm-sections and flashy solos with a modern edge to the 80’s Marshall-sound created by Priest, Maiden and Motorhead
With hundreds of concert from among others Pinboys and Essence, these five young gentlemen, who define Momentum, are determined to remind the world that oldschool is still armed and dangerous!

Momentum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
can't comprehend with such facile words
Abstract thought is no grace of man
A trillion lost causes the fate of our effect
Fundamental ideas that we glean
charged to engage with our surroundings
or we are no more just than those now blind by faith
When we stood tall, we covered our eyes
antagonism replaced any intrigue
so fearful of loosing, poised for offense
cut back the wheat, to cultivate chaff
will we repeat
this tragic succession
of turgid descent
to tear the mantle
draining the cruor
trite in our feelings
glib in our squander
of this beautiful world
The lyrics of Momentum's song Theory suggest that humans are failing to understand the complexity of the world around them. The first two lines ask why we are unable to see, is it because we are blinded by the glare of superficiality? The next line suggests that our simple vocabulary fails to encompass the abstract ideas that make up the world. Abstract thought is no longer considered a grace of man, it has become a lost cause. It suggests that we have lost our ability to comprehend the bigger picture and are only focusing on what is immediately in front of us.
The fundamental ideas that we do understand are charged to engage with our surroundings, but if we do not, the world will go on blind to our presence. The following lines discuss how we once stood tall and were intrigued by the world but now we are only interested in defeating others and are so caught up in our own battles that the bigger picture is lost. The lyrics urge us to think about our behavior and consider whether we will repeat our mistakes, ultimately leading to the destruction of this beautiful world.

Why can't we see? is it the glare that blinds?
Are we unable to see the truth because something is blinding us?
can't comprehend with such facile words
We cannot understand big concepts with simple words
Abstract thought is no grace of man
The ability to think abstractly is not a gift to humans
A trillion lost causes the fate of our effect
The outcome of our actions can cause a vast number of consequences
Fundamental ideas that we glean
We must gather basic knowledge and ideas
charged to engage with our surroundings
We are tasked with interacting with our environment
or we are no more just than those now blind by faith
Failing to interact with our environment makes us no better than those who have faith and refuse to see the truth
this iron sphere revolves blind of our presence
The planet continues to move and exist regardless of our presence
When we stood tall, we covered our eyes
We have failed to see the truth when we were at our strongest
antagonism replaced any intrigue
Conflict has taken over any curiosity
so fearful of loosing, poised for offense
We are so afraid of losing that we are ready to attack at any time
cut back the wheat, to cultivate chaff
We have been dismissing important things while paying attention to insignificant ones
will we repeat
Are we going to do the same thing again?
this tragic succession
This unfortunate cycle
of turgid descent
Of declining quality
to tear the mantle
To destroy the integrity
draining the cruor
Depleting the life essence
trite in our feelings
Our emotions are shallow and unimportant
glib in our squander
We carelessly waste important resources
of this beautiful world
Of this amazing planet

amazing channel, thank you so much for uploading these lessons professor
@apocalypt0723
Thank you so much for the lectures. Learning so much from them
@samdougherty5559
So from my understanding, for most of the calculations in this video the units are in Torque and Thurst. It is only when you make A_d = 2*pi*r*(dr) and then divide LHS and RHS by (dr) do the equations become Torque per unit length and Thrust per unit length?
@grahamflowers
There is something wrong with Betz limit if kinetic energy in the wind is 1/2 mass or 50% and Betz limit is 0.5926% then where can the 0.926% come from not the wind ? regards Graham Flowers MEng
@casper6349
At 35:56, you are missing a V_\infty in the equation for torque. Furthermore, in case you would insert the velocity to arrive at the same equation as 34:08, you would end up at torque in terms of units, not torque per unit length. Won't this mess up the integration over the span later on in the calculations?
@BYUFLOWLab
Good catch, I indeed made a typo on the slide and the V_\infty should be there. With the Vinf include you do get the correct units (torque per unit length, N*m/m or just N). Fortunately, when I combine the momentum and blade element parts in the next video I have the V_\infty term back in so everything else is correct - just a typo on that slide.
