No you didn't miss anything -- I did!

That van door motor (Bosch type CHP, I think) was a KoP item several years ago, and then was not allowed for several years. Glad to see it is back now.

Searching old competition info might find the spec data -- also I think maybe Ether or JVN will have it in calculator menus. I recall they went about 50 RPM and developed a little over 25 N-m stall torque, so about 35 Watt peak output. But please check that against the sources mentioned above.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
