 I did solve the problem, to obtain the same HP as a gear reduced
single rotor at approximately the same weight, use a  direct drive
TWO rotor engine, and it's cheaper and more reliable!!!

Heck back in the old days they had very large one cylinder four stroke
engines. Have you ever seen a John Deere tractor?
They only fire once in awhile.

I plowed and planted the back forty many times with a John Deere,
Could even start it by grabbing that large side mounted flywheel
