Da hood . . . .

It's either LED lighting for the night or a digital hood tach that
reads to 10,000,000,000 rpm.  After-all, it is a rotary.

RPM is good. RPM X Torque = HP

RPM X Torque = HP?

Are we talkin' rotaries or printers? jd

All engines. there is a constant involved. What do printers have to
do with it? :)

HP = (RPM X Torque)/5252

The RX8 turns 8500 RPM to get 240 HP.

The bearing load is a minimum at 6000 RPM. If you boost it at 6000
RPM the bearing load goes down  a bit. After 6000 RPM the load on
the rotor bearing is caused by centrifugal force and rotor weight.
Below 6000 RPM it is combustion pressure.


In other words the minimum bearing load is at a higher RPM on a
boosted rotary engine.

HP makes printers.
