Engine speed is directly related to the speed that the internal components are spinning. And the faster you spin it, the stronger the gyroscopic forces are.


Put 50lb weight on the end of a rope and spin it at 50rpm. Now put a 40lb weight and spin it at 100rpm. The 40lb weight WILL have a higher centrifugal, and gyroscopic effect. (same length ropes btw).
