You DID spell torque right.

I’m not seeing how what you’re saying contradicts what I was intending.

N*m of torque is not the same thing as Joules. One is a force times a moment arm. The other is a force over a distance.

Only if we listening to Lindsey Buckingham while doing so.

Please tell me how that invalidates what I’ve said.

Please be specific. What am I confusing? How am I wrong?

Power is not proportional to speed because there is an independent variable involved, torque.

That means power isn’t proportional to acceleration.

Torque is to an angular system what force is to a linear system.

Angular velocity isn’t constant.

I’m not meaning to be. I just get impatient with the internet sometimes, but don’t we all?

That is incorrect.

I was correcting the person I was responding to, who said he.

What of any of that invalidates what I said? Plot torque with respect to rpm, acceleration with respect to rpm, and VE with respect to rpm. They correlate. It makes a wonderful tuning tool, which I’ve used regularly.

I have, too, and agree with you. I was more saying that there is an expectation of knowledge with the education, a lot of it dealing with this specific subject. Even so, there’s more going on than can be described so quickly.

If you plot acceleration with respect to torque for any RPM it will be a strait line. That is a linear relationship.

Where’s power?

The person above me said “he” and the author of this post (not the original author, my mistake) is female.

I apologize. I meant lever arm length. I’m not sure why I typed ‘gear ratios’. Maybe it’s because the person I was responding to made a similar mistake.

I’m not entirely dismissing power. There’s a reason electric motors are rated by their power output. Comparing dissimilar things (like entirely different cars) also requires something like power.
