I've done anything you can imagine to that Daewoo, from rolling over to money shifts, driving 50 KM/h on a forest road with boulders bending my oil pan (it's regular steel, it doesn't break, it bends), ran without oil until the engine stopped.

      I assume around 6-8kW.

      14.4*40A is 576W
      Output voltage is proportional to RPM, so the power too:
      10000/850*576W is 6776W.

Mainly just to test the raw durability of the crank shaft, pistons, cylinders and valvetrain, in a running car.

    Here is something to think about. At 10,000 RPM, assuming a piston weight of 13 oz., a stroke of 3.15" and not taking the con rod into account, there are approximately 3,600 lbs of force (almost 2 tons) upwards at TDC and downwards at BDC on the piston/rod assembly. If you take the con rod length into account, there is usually more force upwards and less force downwards due to varying rod angles during the stroke.
    It is amazing the forces an engine endures throughout its daily use.

    When I was doing my apprenticeship in the sixties, I removed one head of a side valve Ford V8, and started it up. It was a bit reluctant to run with the loss of manifold vacuum, but nevertheless got going. At lower revs you could see a piston at the top, and at the bottom of each cylinder, with a blurr in between. Same with the valves. At higher revs the blurr vanished, and there was a piston both top and bottom of each cylinder. And it didn't seem possible that it would all stay together! But it probably ran up to 3,500 at the most. Now a chainsaw will do 20,000 rpm!
