I have worked on equipment most of my life and still don’t understand.
nearly all energy put into an ice engine that isn’t lost as heat goes to spinning a shaft. please explain to me how i can tell the difference between torque and horse power?
In: Physics
Power is what matters.
Torque just explains the character of an engine. If someone says that an engine has a lot of torque, they usually mean that it has a lot of power at low rpm.
Low torque engines need high rpm to produce power, like motorcycle engines.
Power is the specification that tells you how fast a vehicle can accelerate, or how much load it can pull.
