No. Imagine you're floating is space, if you twist something you can't
help twisting yourself in the opposite direction so that the total AM of
you and thing you twisted is the same as it was before you twisted it.
You both then have have kinetic energy where you didn't before, but your
total AM hasn't changed. If you are in friction with the thing you
twisted then eventually you and the object will no longer be spinning
relative to each other, all the kinetic energy will be disapated as
heat. The total AM will not have changed throughout. If you think it
would have changed, which direction do you think it would have changed in?
Regards,
Mike.
