# currentSpeed

> The speed body B is currently turning relative to body A around the hinge, in degrees per second. A positive value turns body B counter-clockwise relative to body A and a negative value turns it clockwise. It is measured from the bodies themselves, so it includes motion from every source rather than only the motor.
