Surely not, you twist the ends ORTHOGONALLY to the axis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.121.97 ( talk) 20:14, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
The differential equation in the section Damped pendulum is incorrect. It is the equation of an ordinary gravity pendulum (Mathieu's equation), not a torsion pendulum. The nonlinear term only applies to the gravity pendulum, nor should the acceleration of gravity or length appear. The correct equation is:

I think the term torsion catapult clock in the 2nd paragraph is not used. I googled the term and didn't find a single reference to it. I think torsion pendulum clock is the term you want. -- Chetvorno 20:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Is the tortion spring this one? http://www.sterlingspring.com/images/torsion/torsion_spring1.jpg
Best I can tell, the springs inside most firearms to add resistance to the trigger are torsion springs. Can anybody confirm this? Is it worth adding to the article under Uses? -- Asriel ( talk) 19:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
An IP noted that "there is a mathematical error in at least one of" the equations in this section. I pulled out my vibrations book and found the equation but it's laid out completely different. Moreover, it's been a long time since I've dealt with vibrations, and it isn't coming back quickly. If anyone else has a better source or knowledge it would be appreciated.

If the first equation
has correct units, then the units of must be because the units of Torque are (so that ) and has no units. The equation for the energy then is wrong, because it also gives the units , again because or has no units.

Yes, you are right. A moment of confusion, I guess. Thx
The torque is defined as

I'm thinking of the torsion springs used in later Greek and Roman artillery. But I'm sure there are other examples. 71.191.227.176 ( talk) 19:25, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
The current link to the French language site points to an article about a Torsion Balance. The correct article can be found at this URL: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ressort_de_torsion - but I am not smart enough to figure out how to change the link.
Incidentally, the English link on the French page correctly points back to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DazedAndConfused ( talk • contribs) 15:42, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Can I suggest that the entry labled Torsion_spring#Torsion_balance be split into two distinct entries.
The entry on torsion springs seems to confuse two types of mechanical function: the torsion (rotational resistance and elacticity) and the use of helical springs (which don't use rotational elacticity so much as normal bending resistance, while being wound in a helical spiral)
The torsion balance deserves its own entry. It is one of the most precise experimental tools ever developed, and when grouped with mousetraps, the whole subject is confused. Stewart Fist 01:12, 26 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stewart Fist ( talk • contribs)
