Shouldn't electricity be measured in joules (J) / kilojoules (kJ)? And consumption in watts (W)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan-K (talk • contribs)

Reference to reaction wheels
I add reference to Inline Reaction Wheel, unfortunetly afaik there is no general page about reaction wheels, yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trvtannenberg (talk • contribs)
