I hear ya. Consulting is nice work when you can find it. You can also work for a consulting engineering firm, but then the "middle men" take a good portion of what your work is worth. I've done some independent consulting based upon my prior career. The pay was phenomenal, but required travel. That was OK prior to kids, but not my bag any longer.
I forgot about Ben's elbow question above. The gist of it is a question of momentum change vs time. A shorter radius equals a quicker change. Rapidly changing momentum in a fluid tears up energy. Same thing you said above in a slightly modified wording.
