Its one of those things - I know what it is but its not easy to explain - I think fingers did well there. Here is my take:-
Torque is a measure of turning force, so if you pulled a lever the strength you would use would be measured in Torque.
BHP is actually a measure of peak power and is based on the amount a horse could pull vertically up a mine shaft in a given time for example.
The two are related so if you increase one you increase the other and the Torque and BHP curves will always cross at the same point. |
