By “hopping” iteratively to such larger cycles, we obtain a powerful and very general inductive motor for proving long cycles and computing them (we will give an algorithm with quadratic running time). This is the first step towards the so far elusive quest of finding a universal induction that captures longest cycles of polyhedral graph classes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our motor provides also a method to prove linear lower bounds on the length of Tutte cycles, as &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;msup&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;C&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mo&gt;′&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msup&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt; will be a Tutte cycle of &lt;em&gt;G&lt;/em&gt; if &lt;em&gt;C&lt;/em&gt; is. We prove in addition that &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mo&gt;|&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;E&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;msup&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;C&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mo&gt;′&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msup&gt;&lt;mo&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;|&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;≤&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;|&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;E&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;C&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;|&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;+&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;3&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt; if &lt;em&gt;G&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; contains no face of size five, which gives a new tool for results about cycle spectra, and provides evidence that faces of size five may obstruct many different cycle lengths. As a sample application, we test our motor on the following so far unsettled conjecture about essentially 4-connected graphs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A planar graph is &lt;em&gt;essentially&lt;/em&gt; 4&lt;em&gt;-connected&lt;/em&gt; if it is 3-connected and every of its 3-separators is the neighborhood of a single vertex. Essentially 4-connected graphs have been thoroughly investigated throughout literature as the subject of Hamiltonicity studies. Jackson and Wormald proved that every essentially 4-connected planar graph &lt;em&gt;G&lt;/em&gt; on &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; vertices contains a cycle of length at least &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mfrac&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mn&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mn&gt;5&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/mfrac&gt;&lt;mo&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;n&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;+&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and this result has recently been improved multiple times, culminating in the lower bound &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mfrac&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mn&gt;5&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mn&gt;8&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/mfrac&gt;&lt;mo&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;n&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;+&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.
