Now, I'm no engineer, but as this discussion has morphed, I've been
thinking. Don't rpm matter? I mean, what these engines lack in mass, they
make up in sheer rpm. Surely those little engines moving at rather high rpms
cam more than make up for their small size. Am I close on this, or am I off
the wall in my thinking?
