Can you post some instructions on how to use the energy spreadsheet? I
tried to enter some data and get all kinds of different results if I do
it different ways. I think what I need is some simple step-by-step
instructions for filling out each box.

For instance, how do you determine the unwinding increment? Do you have
to select an increment so you come out at zero winds at the end? do you
put the maximum torque reading in the first box?

If I use an increment of 5 winder turns I get an energy that is double
what I get if I use 10 winder turns for the increment.

Also the blank sheet says it is for a 40 to 1 winder which seems to be
a typo.

Confused in Decatur.
