"Where Is The Kinetic Energy of a Bullet Stored?"

When a bullet is fired, an explosive charge imparts kinetic energy to
the bullet. That kinetic energy travels with the bullet and is transferred
to the target when the bullet strikes. The question to be answered is where
that kinetic energy resides while the bullet is in flight. It obviously
travels with the bullet as is shown by the fact that stopping the bullet
anywhere along its flight path will impart that energy to the stopping
means. Where that energy is stored is revealed by the corrected Lorentz
Transformations for Velocity using the more rational F,L,T system of units.
To accomplish this it is first necessary to correct an error made in the
derivation of the Lorentz Transformation for Transverse Force. Apparently,
for some hare-brained reason, this transformation was apparently derived
using Maxwell's Equations instead of making use of the basic Lorentz
Transformations and E=M*C^2 alone. The use of this approach led to the
conclusion that the Lorentz Transformation for Transverse Force was the
reciprocal of its correct value. The fact that an error existed in that
derivation was revealed by the classic "Right Angle Lever Paradox" which
those familiar with undergraduate level physics and/or mechanics should be
able to demolish in a few minutes.

Let us consider that an idealized bullet which, when at rest consists
of three ideal "mass less" springs at right angles to each other and aligned
with one of the springs parallel to the bullets of the path. The "rest mass"
of the bullet is then inserted in the springs by compressing them equally.
The energy stored in each of the springs is half of the product of the
distance of the their compression and their stiffness. When kinetic energy
is added to the bullet, the force compressing the parallel spring is
increased by the Lorentz Transformation for Parallel Force, which is unity,
while the distance of compression is reduced by the Lorentz Transformation
for Length and energy must LEAVE the parallel spring. WE can conclude, as a
result, that energy must leave the parallel spring and travel in the space
around it (presumably in a disk oriented perpendularly to the velocity
vector).

In the transverse axes, however, a different situation exists. The
distance which these springs are compressed is unchanged by the velocity but
the force required to compress the spring is INCREASED by the Lorentz
Transformation for Transverse Force. As result, the energy of compression
stored in the transverse springs is increased proportionally. The energy of
compression in these springs is increased in direct proportion to the
increase of kinetic energy of the object. It would appear, therefore, that
kinetic energy is stored within the moving object and in a disk like
(perpendicular to its velocity vector) region of space around the object.
