Ben, here is where I'm at. These guys say it much better than I can in limited time.
Here is a calculator you can play with.
As Thomas Andrews would say: "tiz a mathmatical certainty."
If you play with this calculator for awhile you will know if you have an engine that makes 1000 ft/lbs at 1000 RPM you "will" make 190.4 HP. "Tiz a mathmatical certainty." If you jump the RPM to 2000 and keep the torque at 1000 ft/lbs tiz a mathmatical certainty you will get 380.8 HP.
I "know" 5252 is the point that torque and HP will cross on a chart. "tiz a mathmatical certainty."
All the above are mathmatical certaities just as one will never make power (read HP) with gears.
