20,000 rpm…well, that’s my hope of max-rev-limit

I know that my blog has never revved up that high—20,000 rpm. Instead, it’s been idling, or should I say, it’s been stalled.

Anyway, 20,000 rpm is, I think, definitely a goal for many engineers to develop high performance engines which rev faster than “20,000 rpm” for motorcycles, cars…etc.

Once, back in 1960s, when Mr. Honda and his hardest working boys made up their mind that high rpm & max horse power would be superior to fat & thick torque when it comes to racing. In real life driving, we just stop at traffic lights and start again, then stop again, start again……… This is just like on a race track, well, not on an oval track tho, the engine runs wide open throttle, in most cases, less than 30% of the entire length of the race track.

So why am I wiring this? In my opinion, our life is, I say about 70 years, long and winding plus up and down. And I stupidly assume that our body is just like an engine, we can hit gas to the floor less than 30% of our life, which is about 20 years in 70 years of life expectancy… and when we exceed the 30% time limit, again, just like an engine, we get sick, in worst case, we die.
