    So 170 Revolutions per minute, the average length of a treadmill track is 5 feet long, or say for sake of argument 11 feet in total, that's 1870 feet per minute, or almost 35km/h, or 21 miles per hour, so it would take an Olympic sprinter to be able to run on this, which is still pretty impressive

      You would have had to include the relay in there, that little 8 pin relay likely would simply have arced over and burnt itself to a crisp first. Not enough contact separation to survive and extinguish the arc, you would need to have a proper double breaking contactor with 4 poles, 2 NC and 2 NO, with break before make contacts, to have any hope of surviving that.

    This reminds me of something that happened when I was one of the technicians working on an ultra high speed printer. It's print speed was not measured in pages per minute but meters per second. To give you an idea the target (which we exceeded) was 25 meters per second or roughly 4500 pages per minute. To test the print head we had a weird conveyor effort that moved a single page past at 30 meters per second to prove the head could firstly detect and register the page and then do the test print. This is the paper detected and the maths done to calculate how and where to print and to actually print it all in 10ms. We had the prototype built tested re-checked and validated the Friday lunch time before the bigwigs from the customer came in to get an update on progress. The bosses bosses bosses boss came in after going through all the data (3 times knowing him and getting his right hand man to cross check) then explained he was very pleased with the excellent progress. He then proceeded to show us how to use the £250k high speed paper conveyor to launch paper aeroplanes.
