Not saying one will. The point I'm trying to make it that a big diesel only putting out 350 hp will and does it with ease. Why is that? TORQUE not HP. The torque gets it there and keeps it there. Don't say it's gears doing it because they do it at around 1600-1800 rpm.
nope, not all in the gears. obviously though a direct 1:1 drivetrain isn't going to allow that 350 HP engine you are referencing move the load either.
With enough gearing, a 350 HP gas, electric or steam engine will get that load to the same top speed.
