For the last time Torgue creates HP. :D

Right, torque is measured and HP is calculated from it based on rpm. (I'm not quite sure what torgue does. :))
So HP is the indication of how fast the engine can apply torque. A high torque engine will get the load to the top of a hill without doubt. To get to the top faster all you have to do is increase the HP. ;)
At least someone gets it! :B
BuddyIam I can make around 200 ft/lbs of torque when I get on a bicycle. (over a 1000 ft/lbs though gear reduction)But only about a 1/2 HP. Think I would make a good towing engine? After all, I can make more torque than a Cummins! :B
