I think most of us know that torque is only a force and you need speed
(RPM) to develop power. More speed is more power. Or was there some
other point you are trying to make?



II think the point is that there are TWO ways that do an equally good
job of increasing power. More TORQUE is more power too.

Since power=K*Torque*RPM, the result is that if you hold the speed
constant and double the torque, you get double the power. There are
diesel engines in this world that develop 20,000 horespower at only 150
RPM. Naturally, the torque value is astronomical. No, they don't fly.
