Horsepower vs Torque - A Simple Explanation
In this video where you're going to be talking about the difference between torque and horsepower and we're not going to be using any strange analogies and very minimal math just talking about theory and keeping it easy to understand so we'll start things off with torque torque is simply a force applied at a distance.you can think of it as a twisting force,so if you're trying to tighten something down using a wrench.
You apply a force you press down at a distance the length of that wrench and that supplies a torque at whatever you're tightening same idea with a socket wrench so if you're tightening down a bolt you apply a force at a distance and that supplies a torque to that bolt to fasten down that bolt now.
The same thing is happening with your engine so combustion combustion within your cylinder is what's supplying the force pressing this piston down and then that piston is pressing down on a crankshaft so as you can see you've got your force pressing down you've got your distance where it's pressing on the crankshaft the axis of rotation is the center here.
The piston is pressing offset from that center so at a specific distance and combined that gives you your engine torque force pressing down at a specific distance that gives you a twisting force that's the torque that your engine is making now torque can be manipulated very easily by using gears or by using leverage...
