Hi,
More the second gear will turn faster, more the engine need energy. If one
point of the circumference reach the light's speed, this point will need an
infinit energy and his weight be the same of the Universe (or more). The
challenge of anti-gravity: mass = 0 => energy = 0! Then, we will think to
go at speed of light.

For an observer, the two gear run at différent speed: for the second gear
(1,000,000 rpm), the time is slower than the first (10,000rpm) and the
volume decrease at perpendicular of speed (y*V). At very high speed, we
need to consider the variation of volume and time for the design. However,
for each gear, the volume and time doesn't change. This is the relativity.
