"Torque can exist WITHOUT energy transfer or motion."
really? Wow.
This is pretty basic stuff. You can have torque without any motion. A compressed helical spring is the perfect example. I can explain it if you want.
Power is a result of the operation of an engine. Energy, not power is contained within fuel. Thats enrgy conversion acts in a confined space that results in displace both linearly and rotationally/ Power and Torque co-exist in this application.
Hey Mr. Manhattan, I live in a world were time flows
. Perhaps you live in some dimension where you can slow down explosions to mere breezes. But I already gave you the definition of power in my 2nd post. Power is energy, Torque is energy. This argument is where I am telling you the difference and which one is the priority.
actually its called a Nuclear Energy plant. The power comes as a result of TURNING a turbine...can you see the relationship with Torque?
That is back pedal thinking i sense. The power comes from a result of Nuclear fission. Not turning a turbine. Just like the power in a car engine comes from combustion of gases.
Wow you loaded that dice quite nicely didn't you. YOU provide two engines one with a clear perforamnce benefit either due to incresed displacement or increased stress levels.
Yes, because one engine has more power. I purposely loaded the dice like that to catch you. That is what power can do for you.
I'd rather have the engine that gets me out of the corners quicker, results in better acceleration to top speed. Then the guy with more power can catch me If he can down the street. But by the time he is at power peak I'd be long gone.
Nope.. you are some how thinking that power only exists at high rpm and it never exists at low rpm. Which is a misconception. Power generation at low down rpm, is what I think you mean. That special tune which is your fuel mixture, your valve timing, your spark timing, you high flow port and polish, race fuel, individual throttles all that good stuff.. RESULTS in a bigger and better timed explosion in the cylinders, which make MORE POWER due to bonding engergy and , and that power heats the molecules of gas which make pressure, and that pressure pushes the pistons, which in turn, pushes the crank shaft which works over a circular geometry (that is whrere Pi constant comes in ), which makes torque. So no matter how you want to twist it.. I am always two steps ahead of you in this argument.
because you only stop at the crankshaft.
P=2piNT/60
2pi/60 is a constant.
Power is proportional to RPM and Torque if the input energy is also constan i.e. Fuel mass flow rate in MJ/kg/minute.
SPIN it whichever way you want.
2 pi is the number of radians in one rotation.
a radian is angle between two lines that intersect he center of a circle and two points on the circumference of the circle at a distance equal one radius along the circumference.
60 is simply the number of seconds in one minute.
So that's revoltions per minute. See those gymnastic Raptor.
I can juggle thes small balls (of equations)all day. but the practical visualtion of how the engine works will always lead you to power being the king, you just choose where you want it.
