    Wow, dental drills spin stupidly fast. I never realized they’re jamming something in my mouth that makes a turbopump seem sluggish, and that makes the scariest laboratory centrifuge I’ve ever seen blush in shame.

      Big centrifuges are quite scary. Think of how much mass they are moving at those speeds. In comparison, a small drillbit turbine being rotated by compressed air seems less scary.
