I guess them gear boxes are just a scam and everyone needs to get rid of em. All they do is increase useless torque, add weight, lighten your wallets and waste that precious HP.OneBFC said:HP makes thrust, not torque.

Just all negatives it turns out. :scratch:

Riddle me this one...….
IF on a dyno..... torque and horsepower always cross at 5252 rpm and IF someone built and ran their engine below 5252 rpm then would it not really only be about the TORQUE ?
TORQUE it's what horsepower envies !
Do you know what Torque said to Horsepower? I'm waiting.....LOL

Really? You know better brother....
Gear box just changes the prop shaft speed so the engine can operate at peak POWER.
Going to need more than that to prove a high torque motor will out thrust a high power motor.
500lbft/ 400hp turns way way less prop and makes way less thrust than 400lbft/500hp .
YOU KNOW THIS. Why fight it?

according to my AC pocket protected fuzzy math excel calculator the engines have equal power and both exceed waterthunder thrust expectations :salute:
I challenge any CM calculators to prove me wrong!!

a machine must rotate to produce power! A machine with no rotation can deliver torque - like an electric motor - but since no distance is moved by force - no power is produced. As soon as the machine starts to rotate power is produced.
