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 made up of two things
1. how hard you turn the crank
2. how fast you turn it.
Multiply the two together and you have power.
Torque is just how hard you turn the crank.
You can push on the crank as hard as you want, but if it doesn’t turn, you’re not delivering any power.
