minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·5 months agoRemember, power is torque times RPM, which is your accelerating force. It’s a functionally useless measurement without RPM. An engine with half the torque revving twice as fast will make an equal amount of power, and accelerate equally fast.
