Bill, there are times when I'm sure you have a problem with the laws
of physics.

This is one of those times.

You can gear a car to reduce the engine RPM by 1.4 times, but why
would it not require more fuel per revolution to produce the same
amount of work?

Answer that one and you've solved the world's energy crisis (and
disproved Newton).
