That is true Robin.  Off center linear momentum could also be thought of as 
momentum at right angles to normal momentum in an orthogonal relationship.  
This is somewhat like cosine and sine waves which do not interact with each 
other.
 
So far I have not been able to realize a method of converting angular momentum 
into linear momentum or vice versa.

Hi,

thermal energy tends to be considered associated with linear momentum.

"Off centre" linear momentum is angular momentum.
