AC bus? Then it's closer to the operation of grid level load distribution, and is indeed not really intuitive for regular EEs. Small changes in frequency, phase ending with drastic changes in loads...
You have ~ 24.5kJ energy in that (height*mass*g). That much can feed 1kW load for 24.5 seconds.
If done right, then the rated power of the motor/generator will determine only the maximal load the system can handle.

For every complex (electric and other) system has regulations how it is built, how it is operated and such. That's what makes 'safety' more than just a word.
If there were outages on that ship then somewhere, something was not up to code.
Restore power is just one thing. Finding the root of...
Company stuff. The SW dev guys at the other desk had a though fight even just to have some Linux running, and at the end they were banished to an isolated network with that...
If you do know what you are doing (and has a backup) then it's fine: there are problems when there is no way around it (it's the easy way around many other problems, actually).
If you don't, then it's just like Chernobyl.
I think it'll be the 'another'. That detector has no selectivity at all, and since it's not anything specially built for the role (shielding, noise control, meticulous care about any possibly unstable materials and isotopes in structural parts, cleaned for external contamination and sealed in a...
Filer/sandpaper and electric drill/screwdriver. Fix your knob into the drill and set it to (very) low speed.
Put a nut on the knob first, so you can fix the thread just by removing it.
Also, that plastic 'knob' part just makes it convenient to be used by hand, but usually not really helpful...
No general answer. Some techniques are focused on maximal impact damage, others are focused on speed and utilizes the reflected forces to draw back and some are about maximal transferred momentum (to sweep a leg, for example: without breaking your own).
