A counterbalancer makes sure all sums come out even.

I can tell you from experience that if you don't get it timed correctly the motor is going to vibrate a little.

When you are making your kitchen, your wife (or mom) has to sit on one of the counter to balance it while you cut off the other end to fit.  You're welcome.  |

You may be right. I do know what a counterbalancer is and how it works though. |

It's so refreshing to wake up in the morning and realize over coffee that raj just doesn't fucking matter.

When in doubt, throw a party. Even if nobody shows up, you'll have a fridge full of beer and your house has never been cleaner.

Counterbalancers are a myth. Engines are just tilted over to make them turn.

I'm not an expert either. However, I do believe in helping others learn. What more do you want to learn about counterbalancers beyond what is listed in the Wikipedia article? |

A counter balancer is fitted to the gimbal like device that is used on a waterboard. It allows for the prone subject to remain in a head down position, but also to be quickly elevated if they wish to give certain information to their interrogator and so avoid an unsettling feeling akin to drowning.
That same experience is well known to members of ST.n and referred to as the "raj effect".
