In today's video I'll be using Legos to give you the most visual explanation and demonstration of horsepower and torque. If you have ever been confused by horsepower and torque I guarantee that after watching this video these two concepts will never confuse you again.
So let's get started, and we're starting with Torque. Now this LARGE Lego motor outputs 0.14 Nm and this smaller LEGO motor outputs 0.03 Newton meters. What's a newton meter? Well a newton meter is a MEASURE of torque. It measures HOW MUCH torque is being generated.
What is torque? The simplest explanation of torque is that it's a ROTATIONAL FORCE. It's the ROTATIONAL equivalent of LINEAR FORCE.
When you take this bolt and push it you're applying linear force to it. But when you decide to bolt it down you're applying torque to it. In both cases a certain amount of force is present but what's different is the direction of that force.
So our LEGO motors are outputting a certain amount of torque that we have expressed in Newton Meters.
1 newton meter of torque simply equals the force of 1 Newton applied at the end of an arm that is one meter long. So for example if we take this bolt and use this wrench which is one meter long and apply a force of 1 newton at it's end the resulting torque present at the bolt will be ONE NEWTON-METER. Newton meters confuse you? No problem, because torque can also easily be expressed in foot pounds.
1 foot pound of torque is equal to the force of 1 pound being applied at the end of an arm that is 1 foot long.
So in this scenario I'm using the stored energy in my muscles to generate torque at the bolt. Our Lego motors are doing the same thing, they're using the electrical energy stored in these batteries to generate torque or rotational force, and as we have seen our large Lego motor is outputting more torque than our small motor. This difference in torque can EASILY BE FELT. If we install a small shaft into our motor we can feel the difference in rotational force coming from these motors. The difference in torque output is very obvious and the large motor feels much stronger and it's very difficult to stop it.
Just like our LEGO motors THE MOTORS in modern electric cars use the stored energy in their battery packs to generate torque. On the other hand internal combustion engines rely on the energy stored in fossil fuels to generate torque.
The key word in the word horsepower is POWER. What is power? Power is the rate at which work is done, in more simple terms power measures how often a certain force is applied over a given period of time. You could even call power = activity. It measures how many times you can repeat the same action over a given period of time.
This means that torque is influenced by only one factor - the amount of rotational force
But horsepower is influenced by two factors - the amount of force and how many times that force can be exerted over a given period of time.
Now we're going to attach these blocks onto the shafts of our Lego motors so that we can more easily observe how fast each of them rotates.
As you can see the small motor actually rotates faster that the large motor. In fact over the period of one minute the small motor makes 275 rotations while the large motor makes only 146 rotations. This means that although it can't generate as much torque as the large motor, the small motor applies it's torque at a greater rate over the same period of time.
This means that while torque can be both felt and observed horsepower cannot be felt in the same sense. If we put our fingers against the shaft we're feeling the torque, we're feeling the force against our fingers. When we're sitting inside a car and the car accelerates we're again feeling the force pushing us against the seat. We can only feel the amount of force, and because torque is only a force we can feel it. But horsepower isn't only a force, it's a measure of the rate of force. In the case of engines and motors it is the amount of rotational force or torque multiplied by rotations per minute or rpm.

The Nissan engine would need a 1st gear ratio of 63:1 just to get the truck to move. A simpler explanation of the relationship between power and torque is power determines how fast you can go, torque determines how fast you can accelerate/how much mass you can pull.

  • One important additional difference to note is, that TORQUE CAN BE CHANGED by a GEARBOX - you can trade rotational speed for torque or vice-versa. But power is conserved - no gearbox can make power out of nothing. This is essential, and why we have transmission in the first place. You could pull a truck with a Nissan engine, you would just need a low range gearbox.

Over the years I have driven cars with Bigger Engines most commonly the 3.4L and they didn't feel no where near my TC but now I understand the Low Range Transmission vastly improves Torque performance. Meaning 2 Cars with SAME EXACT ENGINE Size can have 2 Varying TORQUE Ratings due to the Gearing Ratio. A Corolla with 2.4L feels sluggish versus my SCION TC with the same exact Engine.

  • I always like to think of it applied to a gym workout. Torque is how much your max bench press is. Horsepower is how much weight you lifted over a time period( say, 1,000 kg in 60 seconds). Someone benching 100kg 10 times in 60 seconds is the same Horsepower as someone benching 200kg 5 times in 60 seconds. The second guy has twice the torque, but half the speed. Same horsepower.

The horses were turning a mill (if memory serves), yet we don't call it "mill power". Torque is a measurement calibrated by exerting a known force at a known distance (typically by suspending a reference weight along a beam of measured length). The "brake" or "water wheel" is just a measuring tool to apply this calibration to an observation.

  • GREAT explanatory video! Part of the additional torque of a diesel engine is due to the greater radius of the crank where the large end of connecting rod is exerting force. It's like accelerating a bicycle with longer pedal arms. You will generate more torque at the center axis of the crank using the same "pushing" force against the pedal while using a longer pedal arm (or pedal crank). A greater crank radius will require longer connecting rods because the distance travelled transversely at the big end is greater and you don't want too great an angle between the connecting rod where it meets the bottom of the piston. A larger diameter crank increases the compression ratio which is higher in a diesel engine (usually 14:1 to 25:1) than in a gasoline engine (8:1 to 12:1). There's plenty more information out there about how diesels differ from gasoline engines.

  • I think it might be helpful to think about the electrical analogue of Torque and RPM as Voltage and Current, respectively. In both cases the product of the two results in Power. Voltage and Torque are what you need to overcome electrical resistance or mechanical friction, while current and RPM are the time dependent concepts that help you deliver high Power once you overcame the initial barrier. Maybe the analogy would be more accurate when you think about increasing voltage in order to create a dielectric breakdown to get the current flowing. I think this is very similar to using torque to make the wheels start spinning when you have a heavy load or are in a very inclined slope.

The small guy was quicker in his payload turn around between runs, but the bigger worker was moving more in one payload.

  • Many decades ago, I was an apprentice electric traction motor technician. One of my duties was to operate a Thomas Salter brake dynamometer. This contraption had the traction motor under test, attached to a dynamo and a load turbine. The dynamo was wired to a slave motor, which had a 12 inch torque arm attached from its spindle to a set of scales, calibrated in pounds. This contraption was the definitive brake dynamometer, and all readings were recorded as brake horsepower (BHP), as opposed to horsepower (HP). All our traction motors were tested and stamped 22 BHP @ 2,000 RPM / 48 Volts @ 54 Amperes peak load consumption. Power quoted as BHP = Derived from mechanical torque arm acting on a set of scales. (Torque x RPM/ 5,252 = Horsepower). Power quoted as HP = Derived from the electrical output of a driven generator (746 Watts = 1 Horsepower).

    • @@kevinbuhler8776 An even better example is a bicycle. You can see the transmission (it's called a cassette), so it's a great way to understand gear ratios. In a lower gear, the gear size is bigger. One turn of the pedals might make gear 1 make one rotation. Gear 1 is terrible for speed, but it's great for power, such as just starting off, or going up a hill. Compare that, to say, gear 7 (I'm using that because it's my bike's highest gear). Gear 7 is visibly smaller, and makes many rotations with one turn of the pedals. It's great for cruising along in a straight line fast. But you'll terribly hurt your knees if you don't move to a lower gear if you need to go slower, or if you're going up a hill. In fact, for anyone who's interested in learning to drive a manual car, I would recommend to them that they first play around with the gears on a bike. It makes learning to drive stick much easier, because they will better understand the concept of low versus high gears.

    • @@cIappo896 Actually its applied force, waht you feel. Tourque is actually the same thing as Energy. How much force is being experienced depends on the length of the lever that applies the force. Lets got talking about transmissions. In First gear a gear connected to your engine will spin another very big gear. the Force applied near to the inside of the Gear gets applied to the outside of the other gear. If these two gears fight against each other the Smaller gear would have an advantage because moving a long lever requires less force than moving a small lever. You just need a long arm or walk in order to spin a little wheel in any meaningful way with a very long lever. If your lever was shorter you wouldnt have to move as much, but you'd need to apply more force to get the same amount of tourque. Shifting upwards into second gear will put your small gear against a not as big gear. The 2nd gear will spin faster due to its smaller size since you can move lets say 100 teeth/s because it has less teeth than the first gear. But the lever isnt as long anymore so it doesnt have as big of a tourque advantage anymore compared to what it had in the first gear. Thats why you have less acceleration in higher and higher gears. You might have a higher top speed but you cant accelerate as fast in higher gears anymore. If you'd made the engine spin faster however at some point it will fly apart, which is why there are rev limiters so they can prevent this flying apart part. Your theoretical top speed is only determained by three factors: Transmission length (longer transmission = more top speed; less acceleration), max RPM (higher max RPM = more top speed; more power; more acceleration; less durable) and wheel size (larger radius = more top speed; less acceleration). The FORCE applied to the ground depends on what transmission length you have and how much tourque your engine produces. If the force stopping you from going faster (such as wind force or just friction in general) is greater than the force you apply, you can no longer accelerate. Mass is not directly a factor - but mass does affect friction but also increases grip, which increases applyable tourque - so mass cancels out - downforce through a spoiler doesnt - thats why racecars use wings instead of extra mass). Mass does not influence your top speed if your tourque is always as much as physicall possible (so much that your wheels dont start to do a burnout). A burnout means that the force applied is bigger than the applyable force for the grip you have. The friction which is supposed to help you propell is being overcome, this causing your wheels to spin without your car getting accelerated. You do not feel the tourque. You only feel the force. Force is whatever is at some point by the lever. You can feel it very easily by using a nutcracker. Cracking the nut with your bare hands is rather difficult - for some even impossible. Put it into the nutcracker, grab it by the ends of the two levers and push the levers together. Quite easy if you ask me. The force applied by your hands is exactly the same. The force, which cracked the nut was a lot bigger. Depending on the lever length. If the lever was lets say 6 units long and the crack chamber was 1 unit away from the spin center, the force experienced was multiplied by 6/1, which is 6. So if you applied lets say 6Nm of tourque you applied that because you applied 1N of force on a 6m lever. 1*6=6. The Nut experienced 6N because the same tourque applies to all levers 6Nm of tourque means 6N of force at 1m distance from center. It would have felt 24N at 25cm from the center and so on. Meaning: If you had a REALLY long lever you could make the earth stop spinning when you stand at a solid location, which is not attatched to earth. The lever just needs to be able to carry out this much force down on earth because theres gonna be a lot of force. So good luck building that lever.

  • I think it's also worth pointing out that gearing can be used to compensate for a lack of torque. That is to say that, theoretically, two cars with vastly different torque, but the same horsepower, could accelerate/pull with the same force if the gear ratios are scaled. For this reason, you can roughly compare how two vehicles of similar weight can accelerate based on horsepower alone (e.g., mustangs and camaros with equivalent transmissions have nearly identical acceleration times with very different torque, but nearly identical horsepower). I say theoretically because the engine with more torque will probably have heavier engine and transmission components, more inertia, etc., and will be slower to rev up with no load. Add in that the shape of the power curves, gearing, drive line losses, etc. will probably not perfectly line up, and you get a bit of a mess. Now, another benefit of using horsepower as a metric is it tells you when, for any given car, you should be shifting to achieve maximum acceleration. And that moment occurs when the power at a given RPM is equal to what power will be at the new RPM after completion of the shift (assuming of course that you do not get valve float first 👀, in which case, that's when you want to shift lol).

  • It might have been worth mentioning that the torque generated by the truck engine is not only due to larger cylinder volume and piston diameter resulting in greater reciprocal force through combustion but equally important is the greater distance of the crank throw from the point of rotation creating a leverage effect for that force to act upon. It would have tied nicely into your example of torque measurement using the 1 metre lever bar on the bolt with the applied force.

    • Another wrinkle with Diesel engines is that the fuel itself contains more energy than gasoline. A second difference to consider is that gasoline is more explosive, whereas diesel burns and becomes more explosive under pressure. When detonation occurs, gasoline goes out with a bang. Detonation with a Diesel engine is a slower explosion which pushes on the piston longer than a gasoline detonation. This is also a contributing factor for why Diesel engines generate more torque than an equivalent gasoline engine. It is also a reason why Diesel engines don’t rev as high as gasoline engines, the slower burn creates a cap on how high your engine revs can be before your engine would outrun the combustion process.

    • @UCLK3WKx3l3Mod5fV-RqenGA my dad had an Ford F700 with a small block gas engine in it years ago. It was slow and and a turtle could out accelerate it! To some extent what you are saying is true about torque, especially when you can add gear reduction, but gear reduction adds weight and complexity which can be a drawback when a diesel can do it better if designed for the specific application. What this boils down to is we need different designs for different applications because a one size fits all approach doesn’t work. Maybe think of horsepower as how eager an engine is to work, and torque is how hard it can work. I could hook up a 30,000 lbs trailer to a truck with 1,000 hp and 500 ft lbs of torque and even though that engine is very eager to rev and accelerate, that 30,000 lbs will temper that eagerness quite a lot. However, a truck with a diesel that has 1,000 ft lbs and 400 hp will have no problem carting that 30,000 lb trailer around and up hills.

It took years of experience working with motorcycles, cars, trucks etc. for me to just kind of internally understand the difference because I have never met anyone who could actually explain the difference like you did. This video should be standard curriculum in every high school mechanics class or physics class. 10 minutes of time to give students a perfect life long understanding of an important concept that we all live and work with every single day.

    • I think I get the gist......he didn't come out & say it but your answer is implied in the description of sports car motor vs. truck motor. The reason that one motor spins faster than the other is not just "cuz they were designed to". They have different intended purposes, yes, but the designers have only two numbers they can manipulate. If you need max HP, you gotta make torque & RPM work together. If you need more torque, you'll be limited in your max RPM and HP. You want more of one thing? It'll cost ya some of the other, cuz, natural laws and all that.......nothing is created or destroyed, but merely transformed.
