Having said that I do want to point out that HP generated is
not necessarily
related to RPM. For example a supercharger or turbo charger
can greatly increase the HP at a given RPM.
And yes dealing with the waste heat is one of our biggest
problems but it
is the same for any liquid cooled air craft engine. I notice that
Cool Jugs have been very very quiete lately. Perhaps a dose of the
liquid cooled reality has set in.

I'm a total newbie at this so I shouldn't make snide commments, but I
had never heard of Cool Jugs before you mentioned them so I checked
them out. It seems rather amusing that somebody would go to all that
trouble to partially convert an ancient engine style to modern systems
when the need for water cooling in an auto conversion is usually the
focus of snide comments by the air cooling crowd.
It seems even more amusing that they named their company/product
something that sounds like a light beer-influenced soft porn ad.
Cheers,
Chad
