Another excellent video.

With a 3 foot bar I can generate 600 ft.lbs of torque by hand.
That is supposedly a substantial value.

Even with four buddies no way we will generate a lowly 200 horsepower.
Just too much energy!

Last week I was playing with converting engine cylinder pressure to car acceleration. Without using torque numbers or gear ratios.
