TORQUE vs HORSEPOWER Explained In Less Than 3 Minutes

Torque and horsepower are two important concepts in the automotive industry. If you need to move big loads, you need torque. If you're in Formula 1, you care about speed. In both cases, you need horsepower. If you want a fast 0-60, you need torque, and you need to hit it quickly. So, many factors go into determining a machine's performance, hopefully I explain it here a little more clearly.

I am not still confused. I am less confused. Thank you for this explanation and demo.

My teenager self would have loved a video like this! Keep it up 😄

[BossNurseHere]

This is easily the most simple and best explanation in the top 10 TY algorithms. 👍

I'm currently in third year of petroleum engineering (yes I know your take on it and really hope it will prove wrong 😂).
Out of all the courses so far, machine elements was my favourite (kinda regretted I didn't choose mechanical eng.). I did well on it, but now I really have a clearer grasp on the real meaning of torque and power so thanks a lot for this concise explanation. And keep doing the vids, they are awesome 👍

[Versa-light]

Very fun explanation. Liked the exaggerated expressions while lifting the desk lol

[chaundadon]

I’m 31 & trying to recapture my youth by learning the things I should’ve learned if I had an active father in my life, so thank you. A grade school kids could probably get this information but since I missed out on it my old a** is grateful lol

[Jamon]

Well done bro. You explained it better than any of my ME professors and other content creators!

[timsilva]

Clear and to the point. Great.
I also enjoyed the errant wheel taking off to do its own thing.

[simonstock]

“your probably still confused…” 😂 that had me. As yes, still a little bit!

[mechamagic]

Great video. i did a little project like this back when i took Mechanism but i couldn't find a gear to reduce the speed and at the end i used Arduino to make it work.

[montage]

Well explained 👏 👌 💯, now can you please explain entropy like this 😁

[JohnJohnson-mgql]

I am currently taking dynamics, this stuff is awesome

Torque at wheels is important, torque at crankshaft is largely irrelevant in theoretical discussions like this since gearing makes up difference. Two engines with XXX HP have same potential to make torque at wheels, I don't care if one has 2000 ft lbs and the other has 300 ft lbs, HP is all that matters. Now there are some practical nuances with engine longevity, heat, power transfer, etc

Wow Wissam you have summarized it in a very simple way!
I am a third year Mechanical student and I am ashamed to say that I was lacking these info, thank you Wissam 🙂🙂

[mangomanlassi]

Hi Wissam, could you please make a video on truss analysis? (Method of Joints and Method of Sections)

[Papperlapappmaul]

It's torque vs power, or lbf ft (Nm) vs horsepower. You're mixing up units and physical quantities here.
Also power does not equal torque times speed but is merely proportional to it.

I needed to know this after seeing the word torque in NFS

[jayseifeddine]

Great video… Really explained it well… Well done

[RedlineFeline]

I'm still confused LOL! But still most entertaining video on the subject I've seen yet. Thanks!

[Illack]

Lol when he said I'm still confused... yes sir I am still confused but good video
