Work? Eeek! Epstein-Barr virus causes some lymphoma. Epstein invents lymphoma cure for Techniclone. Epstein manages the Beatles. Epstein makes little steam engines. Who is this guy? Moments of inertia = 4 engineers in a pub. Little turbine rotors have super low moment of inertia and F = mw2r. So a particle of rotor tries to detach itself according to the square of the rotation speed but only linearly increases with radius = distance from the centre of rotation. The F stays the same = limiting force holding the particle on the rotor so if you double the rotation speed [w] you have to quarter the radius. So yep, a super micro one will really rip around without flying apart. Fast rotation is good. Bearings = why not go guts and make them superconducting supporters running in vacuum? No air drag or oil = further price drops in oil price, even if USA nukes some palaces. Did you see our Hercules nearly take off on 3 engines [has 4] to go and sort out Saddam? But still, thermodynamic efficiency, weight and cost are going to make fuel cell the best electricity supply for electronics.
