I said: Pick a reasonable mass, a radius and a frequency. Also describe your detector. I'll calculate a signal strength for you.

I couldn't resist. Assume a bar of mass 1000 kg, one meter in length, rotating at 1000 Hz. An order-of-magnitude calculation for the gravitational radiation power output is 10^-19 erg/s. I don't care what kind of detector you have, you won't measure it. An electron volt is of order 10^-12 erg.

Thanks for the calculation, can you explain how you did it? If it is that low detection is improbable.
