How much power is a B-29 generating during a full throttle run-up

That goes back to the basic definition of HP. You have to do work on an
object, since HP is the amont of time required to lift an {whatever
weight} object to {whatever} height.

No, horsepower is not an amount of time. It is a rate of doing work. I
can lift 100 lbs 10' in one minute or I can lift 100,000 lbs 10' in one
minute. Same time, but vastly different amounts of HP required.
