Frequently Asked Questions
How is the physics-based momentum implemented for the windmill rotation?
The rotation utilizes a custom JavaScript-driven animation loop that applies angular velocity and a friction coefficient to simulate inertia, ensuring the blades decelerate naturally rather than stopping abruptly.
What SVG techniques are used to achieve the golden champagne aesthetic?
The component employs SVG linear gradients and filter primitives like feGaussianBlur and feSpecularLighting to create a metallic sheen and depth on the golden windmill paths.
How does the mathematical precision of the blade placement work?
Blade coordinates are calculated using polar-to-Cartesian transformation formulas, ensuring each SVG path is perfectly equidistant from the center point and rotated by exactly (360/n) degrees, where n is the number of blades.
Are the interactive momentum triggers compatible with mobile touch events?
Yes, the component listens for both mouse and touch events, calculating swipe velocity to adjust the rotation's momentum variables dynamically for a consistent experience across devices.
Can the CSS animations be synchronized with external loading states?
The loader supports an 'active' state toggle via CSS classes or JavaScript props, allowing the fluid CSS animations to transition seamlessly from an idle state to a high-speed rotation based on real-time data fetching progress.
