Torque and rpm combine to make horsepower just like Crown and Coke combine to make me happy.
How much horsepower is being made depends on how much torque is being applied at a certain rpm just like how happy I get depends on how much Crown is being applied to the Coke.
Torque without rotational movement is useless just like Coke without Crown is useless.
You see, you can't have one without the other.
Now go practice explaining it to yourself using Crown and Coke as an example and it will all start making sense after about the third or fourth try. At least it did for me. :B
Good post!
The thing I like about HP is you can't "manufacture" it with gears. You want to make more torque to the tires? Just drop a gear. If you have an engine that makes 1000 ft/lbs of torque at the crank at a very low RPM if will not make a good TV engine because it can't do work in a timely fashion.
Now if you have an engine that makes 1000 HP at a high RPM it won't be fun to drive as a TV but with the right and enough gears it will fly up hills.
A good TV will have a good balance of both.
