4500 RPM.=C2=A0 Is that shaft or rotor?=C2=A0=C2=A0
Cause what I'm hearing is that the 10lb rotor is going to get bumped three =
times per rev. And, it is going to be bumped enough to change rotor speed s=
ignificantly.=C2=A0 With even the tiniest amount of play in the end gears, =
less than you'd want for operational clearances, you will end up with an un=
bearable high pitched squeal from the gear chatter.

Maybe the second solution solves that?=C2=A0 The generator turns off, and t=
he rotors kinetic energy goes into accelerating the shaft, keeping the roto=
r always engaged in a forward push.

It's surprising to see that it is heavier, though.=C2=A0 Is that the total =
installation, including generators?

Some finer points on this version of the engine that might aid aircraft usa=
ge:
1. Direct fuel injection (said to aid efficiency)
2. Plasma coated AL side housings! (Less weight)
3. Wider apex seals(?)
And it seems perhaps this entire package (perhaps minus the variable valve =
timing?) could fly in a hybrid aircraft form admirably? Wonder what it woul=
d all weighs-engine, electric gen, ecu package, batteries, AND a combo new =
prop/electric motor?
