	TurnFast : Weight Transfer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The amount of weight transfer is dominated by the vehicle's weight, location of the center of gravity, wheelbase, and track, and the amount of force applied during braking, accelerating, and cornering.
		Weight transfer is a function of the vehicle's weight and the forces acting on that weight.
		Where weight transfer occurs is related to the static weight distribution of the car, the roll couple distribution of the car, the height of the roll center of the car, and the slope of the roll center in relation to the ground plane.

	HPDE: Driving Tips
		When you turn, weight transfers from the tires on the inside of the turn, to the tires on the outside of the turn.
		Since any kind of weight transfer causes a change to this pressure, than the traction you have at each tire is constantly changing with weight transfer.
		Since weight transfer is unavoidable, the next best thing is to cause the weight to transfer as predictably as possible.

		Seriously, proper weight transference is as important to the golfer as it is to the baseball pitcher for without it the ball will go off course as well as a shorter distance.
		His body weight should ideally transfer to the right side during the backswing and to the left side during the downswing and remain on the left side throughout the follow-through.
		Although various theories of weight transfer have evolved through the years, all of them agree that it is crucial to a good golf swing.

	Chapter 4: Weight Transfer
		It's easy to derive that the amount of weight transferred, in essence the difference in weight on the two tires, is equal to the centripetal force (yellow) multiplied by the height of the CG divided by the track of the car.
		The amount of weight transferred is also dependant on factors that don't refer to the car itself, like its speed, and the radius of the circle which approximates the path it is following.
		The fact that the amount of weight transferred is proportional to the radius of the turn is one of the reasons why a large, smooth radius is the fastest line when cornering: it minimizes weight transfer, so it maximises overall grip and cornering power.

	Weight transfer and roll resistance. - Generation 2 Integra Club Forum
		That overall load transfer can be broken down into 3 different kinds of load transfer, unsprung weight transfer (wheels, knuckles, brakes, etc), weight transfer through the roll centers, and weight transfer of the sprung mass.
		Weight transfer through the roll centers — When we go around a turn, there is weight transfer that goes directly through the roll centers to the other, outside tires.
		Weight transfer of the sprung mass — Typically this type of weight transfer takes up most of the overall weight transfer, which is a good thing cause we can tune it.

	Weight transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In automobiles, weight transfer (often confused with load transfer) refers to the redistribution of weight supported by each tire during acceleration (both longitudinal and lateral).
		Weight transfer is a crucial concept in understanding vehicle dynamics.
		Weight transfer occurs as the vehicle's center of gravity (CoG) shifts during automotive maneuvers.

	Weight transfer from centre of gravity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Front-back weight transfer is proportional to the ratio of the center of gravity height to the vehicle's wheelbase, and side to side weight transfer (summed over front and rear) is proportional to the ratio of the center of gravity height to the vehicle's track.
		Weight transfer causes the available traction at all four wheels to vary as the car brakes, accelerates, or turns.
		If (lateral) weight transfer reaches the tire loading on one end of a vehicle, the inside wheel on that end will lift, causing a change in handling characteristic.

	Weight Mover for A:M (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		WeightMover is weighting each hi-res point based on the closest lo-res points, and the feet are close enough together that it's picking some lo-res points from the wrong foot, for the hi-res points in those areas.
		Each leg is weighted exclusively to the bones on the appropriate side, because the exclusion groups restrict them to deriving their weights from proxy points on the appropriate side.
		This weight is determined by averaging the weights that would otherwise be applied to the points, so if you have a no-flex group on a flexible surface, it stays with the surface as it bendss, without bending itself.

	How to Weight a Garden Pulling Tractor
		The best place to position weights is towards the front of the tractor on an extension and underneath the transaxle, for a lower center of gravity, so the tractor won't go from side to side down the track as much.
		If the weights are positioned high on the tractor, that would make it top heavy, causing it to go from side to side down the tractor, especially high speed tractors.
		And on a moistened or "biting" track, weight will need to be removed from the rear of a tractor and placed on the front (and you'll need to pull in a slightly slower gear).

	Motorcycle Art and Science — Traction & Geometry - Sport Rider
		How much weight is transferred under acceleration is dependent on the wheelbase and the relative position of the bike’s center of gravity.
		Weight transfer manifests itself as the ground pushing upward on the rear wheel—compressing the suspension—and all three forces are proportional to the amount of acceleration.
		Figure 1 shows a typical sportbike rear end and the three forces (weight transfer, driving force and chain pull), with the lengths of the red arrows representing the magnitude and direction of each.

	Weight Transfer
		This is just another way of saying that the amount of weight transfer resulting from a change in speed is a function of the ratio of the height of the CG to the length of the wheelbase.
		Weight transfer to the rear tire from acceleration leads to over-steer (greater slip angle on rear tire) while braking in a curve, because of weight transfer to the front, leads to under-steer (greater slip angle on front tire.) Both are deadly concerns if you push tire loads to their limits!!
		In order to manage weight transfer intelligently you need to have a good idea of where the center of gravity of your bike is and what happens to it when you add a passenger or luggage.

		Boxers stride and transfer their weight forward as they deliver a blow straight out to an opponent's mid-section.
		But we should not think of it as "throwing our weight onto (or against) a stiff front leg." The batter's lead knee will be well flexed and pointing at the plate as the swing starts.

	Why is lowering a car so desireable?
		This centripetal force acts as a lever arm to transfer some of the vehicle weight from the inside tires to the outside tires.
		The car is cornering towards the left and some of its weight has been transferred to the right-side tires.
		Thus the overall cornering power of a pair of tires is reduced due to weight transfer.

	Body Roll and Weight Transfer Continued - NASIOC
		So the body rolls and transfers WEIGHT, the suspension compresses on one side and extends on the other, the sway bar limits this compression and extension by transferring LOAD from the compressed side to the extended side through a twisting action.

		True but is this case it doesn't work because you cannot stop weight transfer from the inside to the outside, so the inside tire does not have any grip UNLESS you are accelerating in which case you have transferred load from the front to the back.

	Weight Transfer
		During braking, the weight shifts from the rear onto the front wheels.
		During cornering, the weight shifts from the inside tires to the outside tires.
		Thus, if you were accelerating while turning right, the least weight would be on the front right tire, and the most weight would be on the rear left tire.

	Understanding Sway Bar Function - Stock Car Magazine
		The function of a sway bar is usually to prevent weight transfer from one side to the other in cornering situations.
		Therefore, the weight that the sway bar lifts on the left wheel is weight that doesn't transfer to the right side.
		With a sway bar able to control the weight shift, it would be easy to come to the conclusion that we could make a rigid bar and bolt it to the lower control arms and stop all the weight shift.
