And connect one of these to the driveshaft of a Subaru and it will do Warp Factor 5.

Yup... for about... oh... say 1 or 2 seconds... then it will take that poor little Subaru and twist it into something that would best be described as a metal and rubber Twizzler... LOL

5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm?! Talk about towing capacity

I thought 102rpm sounded pretty tame... then I realized that each of those pistons has got to weight at least a couple of tons. That's a lota metal moving up and down!

Right, at 102 rpm that 38 inch diameter piston is moving at 1666 ft per minute (27.77 ft per second) and making 204 stop/starts, during that minute.
