is it safe to o past the redline

You're going to go make me go do that mechanical stuff, aren't you?

crap... technically, I didn't forget pi... I just didn't convert to radians properly because I... umm... forgot pi...

T = 1/10,000 RPM * 60 = 0.006 sec/rev
w = (2*pi)/T = (2*3.14)/0.006 sec/rev= 1046.67 radians/sec

SO ANYWAY:

w = 10,000 RPM = 166.67 RPS = 1046.67 radians/sec
r = 56.6 mm / 2 = 28.3 mm = 0.0283 m
v = w * r = 1046.67 radians/sec * 0.0283 m = 29.62 m/s or 66.26 MPH (peak velocity)

more importantly, the piston is constantly accelerating from 29.62 m/s to -29.62 m/s to 29.62 m/s and so on:
a = w^2*r = 1046.67^2 * 0.0283 m = 31003.16 m/s^2 or 3160.36 G's!!!

wow thats really high... is that right?! circular motion has never been one of my strong points

That still doesn't explain why the romulan warbirds can't fire their photon torpedos while cloacked. 
and BTW 1046.67 radians/sec hahahahahahah  thats so 22nd century. My dilithium transcor crystals can do way better than that.
you guys ain't even near impulse power 

as the klingon say:  kghoik moet yitn muyerbf, dummy!!!!!!!!

~ahumn ..now back to my hole..
