The main drive pulley of an engine; mounted on the fromt end of the crankshaft. Harmonic balancers are weighted to keep the crankshaft balance in order to reduce vibration.
Frank: The dang harmonic balancer is frozen to the crankshaft!
Allan: Probably gonna have to use a harmonic balancer puller, Frank.
Frank: Wow! They actually make those?!
Allan: Yep

Get the harmonic balancermug. The reason why weeks after you have any health care you get stacks of bills from the doctor, the facility, the nurse, the pharmacy, the lab, and the guy who cleans the floors every other Saturday.
Even after you've paid the stupid $20 copay.
Even after you've paid the stupid $20 copay.
"I went to my doctor two months ago for a sore throat and I paid my $20 copay. Now I've gotten $847 worth of extra bills for the office visit, strep test, and a shot of penicillin. The office manager told me that was how much I owe in balance billing since I haven't met my $12,000 deductible."

Get the Balance Billingmug. Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.

Get the system of checks and balancesmug. Omni-Balance occurs when a roleplayer in a fight refuses to accept what would normally be a defeat of their character, and their character counters with a feat they were previously incapable of doing, upsetting the power scale of the entire roleplay and causing the roleplay itself to deteriorate.

Get the Omni-Balancemug. He/she kept trying to throw things off by counter-balancing everything all the time, even when it wasn't actually helping anybody but him/her. Since he/she held nothing sacred, no underdog or favorite, they were all just pawns like everyone and everything else to him/her.

Get the counter-balancingmug. Perfect Balance is a fusion between balance and counterbalance you got example A. Most often called perfect balance but it's rather immovable balance like that of a cone being placed in a sphere via phase like fusion always working itself equal in position as the cone inside the sphere is alligned. And B. Genuine perfect balance example being many cones in all different directions evenly being phase like fused inside a sphere where effected mass is unchanged but mass effect changes productively such as infinity roll or spin. This is more perfect balance in consideration of masses composite build.
The perfect balance of the planets in majority sum leaves one grasping blindly at the event of composition.
