Max RPM rating for the blower was 65,000, when it self destructed, the recorded RPM was over 105,000 RPM.

Oh! Look! it broke this other stuff too!

Well DUH!


You got the carnage order reversed. Flywheel bolts broke first, disconnecting engine from absorber/load. Engine immediately went to 12,000 RPM followed a millisecond or 2 later by the compressor detonation.

I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
