An amazing piece of engineering, especially how the five aluminum and three coated rotors interact with each other.

I wonder how many of you know which way those spin. Blew my mind when I learned exactly which way it does.

Here is a good video. The spin from the center up and out. Not center down and in like I originally thought. It's interesting that the cobalt uses Laminova cores. The one below it explains very well, how our superchargers work.

It has to do with the cooling. The ic is small not to mention right in the motor valley.
