Gravitational Poynting Vector and Gravitational Larmor Theorem in Rotating Bodies with Angular Acceleration

TL;DR

This paper explores how the gravitational Poynting vector and gravitational Larmor theorem explain the transfer of gravitational energy and the acquisition of rotational kinetic energy in rotating bodies under external forces.

Contribution

It introduces a novel application of the gravitational Poynting vector and Larmor theorem to explain energy transfer and spin-up in rotating massive bodies.

Findings

Gravitational Poynting vector facilitates energy transfer in gravitational systems.

External forces can induce rotational kinetic energy in massive bodies.

The gravitational Larmor theorem explains the mechanism of spin acquisition.

Abstract

The gravitational Poynting vector provides a mechanism for the transfer of gravitational energy to a system of falling objects. In the following we will show that the gravitational poynting vector together with the gravitational Larmor theorem also provides a mechanism to explain how massive bodies acquire rotational kinetic energy when external mechanical forces are applied on them.
