Moment of Inertia API
Rigid-body rotational-inertia mechanics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The shape endpoint returns the mass moment of inertia and the radius of gyration k = √(I/m) for a named standard body about its characteristic axis — a solid sphere (I = 2/5·m·r²), thin spherical shell (2/3·m·r²), solid cylinder or disk (1/2·m·r²), annular/hollow cylinder (1/2·m·(r1²+r2²)), thin ring (m·r²), thin rod about its centre (1/12·m·l²) or about one end (1/3·m·l²), rectangular plate or cuboid (1/12·m·(a²+b²)), solid cone (3/10·m·r²) and point mass (m·r²) — so a 2 kg solid sphere of radius 0.5 m has I = 0.2 kg·m². The parallel-axis endpoint applies the Steiner theorem I = I_cm + m·d² to shift a moment of inertia from the centre-of-mass axis to any parallel axis a distance d away. The shapes endpoint lists the whole catalog with its formulas. All quantities are SI (kg, m → kg·m²). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical-engineering, robotics, CAD/CAE, rotating-machinery, structural-dynamics and physics-education app developers, flywheel-and-shaft design tools, and simulation software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rotational inertia; for stored rotational energy and flywheel sizing use a flywheel API and for torque and angular acceleration a torque API.

Flywheel Energy API
Flywheel and rotational-energy dynamics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The energy endpoint computes the rotational kinetic energy stored in a spinning body, E = ½·I·ω², together with its angular momentum L = I·ω, in joules, kilojoules and watt-hours — from a moment of inertia (given directly, or worked out from a shape, mass and dimension) and an angular speed given as rpm, radians per second or hertz, which it reports in all three. The inertia endpoint returns the moment of inertia about the central axis for the common shapes — solid disk and cylinder (½·m·r²), thin ring and hoop (m·r²), hollow cylinder (½·m·(r_out²+r_in²)), solid sphere (⅖·m·r²), hollow sphere (⅔·m·r²) and a rod about its centre (1/12·m·L²) or end (⅓·m·L²) — from a mass and a radius, diameter or length. The flywheel endpoint sizes a flywheel: give a target energy and an operating speed and it returns the required inertia I = 2E/ω², or give an inertia and a maximum and minimum rpm and it returns the energy delivered between them, ΔE = ½·I·(ω₁²−ω₂²), with the coefficient of fluctuation. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical-engineering and energy-storage tools, motor, engine and powertrain design, kinetic-energy-recovery and physics-education apps. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rotational energy and inertia; for bolt tightening torque use a torque API and for power-screw mechanics use a screw-jack API.

Center of Mass API
Centre-of-mass and barycentre mechanics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The point-masses endpoint computes the centre of mass of a system of point masses in one, two or three dimensions, applying x_com = Σ(m_i·x_i)/Σm_i to each axis from a list of masses and their x (and optional y and z) coordinates — masses of 1, 2 and 3 at positions 0, 1 and 2 give a centre of mass at 1.333, and four equal masses at the corners of a square sit at its centre. The two-body endpoint computes the barycentre of two masses separated by a distance, r1 = d·m2/(m1+m2) from the first body, which always lies closer to the heavier one — for the Earth-Moon system the barycentre is about 4 670 km from Earth’s centre, still inside the planet. Lists may be passed as comma-separated values (masses=1,2,3&x=0,1,2) or as JSON arrays in a POST body, and units are consistent and unit-agnostic. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for physics, engineering-statics, astronomy, robotics, game-physics and mechanics-education app developers, balance-point and barycentre tools, and simulation software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 2 endpoints. This is the centre of mass; for the rotational moment of inertia use a moment-of-inertia API.

Kinematics SUVAT API
Kinematics (SUVAT) maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The solve endpoint takes any three of the five constant-acceleration variables — initial velocity u, final velocity v, acceleration a, time t and displacement s — and returns the other two, picking the right equation among v = u + at, s = ut + ½at², s = ½(u+v)t, v² = u² + 2as and s = vt − ½at² automatically. The freefall endpoint computes the fall time, distance and impact velocity for a vertical drop from a height (or over a given time), with an adjustable gravity and optional initial velocity, no air resistance. The stopping endpoint computes reaction, braking and total stopping distance and braking time for a vehicle from its speed and either a deceleration or a road-surface friction coefficient (a = μ·g), with an optional reaction time. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for physics-education, engineering, simulation, automotive and game-development app developers, motion and braking-distance tools, and STEM teaching. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is linear-motion SUVAT; for projectile launch and trajectory use a projectile API and for momentum and collisions a momentum API.

Hooke's Law & Spring API
Hooke's law and elastic potential energy as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The hooke endpoint applies F = k·x — the restoring force of a spring equals its spring constant times the extension — and solves for whichever of the force, the spring constant or the displacement you leave out, also returning the elastic potential energy ½·k·x². The energy endpoint computes the elastic potential energy E = ½·k·x² stored in a stretched or compressed spring, solves the extension from a stored energy, and finds the work done in stretching a spring from one extension to another, W = ½·k·(x2² − x1²). The combine endpoint combines springs: in series the assembly is softer, 1/k = Σ 1/kᵢ, and in parallel it is stiffer, k = Σ kᵢ — the spring equivalent of resistors in a circuit. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for physics and mechanics-education tools, spring and suspension design, mechanism and gadget engineering, and simulation software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the force-extension law and elastic energy; for the spring rate of a helical coil from its geometry use a spring-coil API and for spring-mass natural frequency use a vibration API.
