    There is a lot of equipment that is rated for short bursts of power that would be destructive when sustained.

    Military aircraft for example can often reach high speeds for a short duration. This is not improvised but designed and rated for.

    Most modern CPUs have non sustainable boost speeds that they can reach but not sustain due to thermal limits.

    Electric turbochargers often can only operate in short bursts.

    There are countless more examples.

      Sure, but we aren’t talking about bursts speeds. We are talking about sustained cruising speeds. I’ve responded to a similar comment of yours in more detail in another branch.

        But that’s literally what the post is about. You cannot perform in burst mode sustainably. If you could that wouldn’t be the top/burst speed anymore.
