Theres actualy a lot more to it than was
previously stated. First of all the motors we are using are
constant torque devises. An internal combustion engine is
not. IC engines only develop torque in a very narrow
RPM range. HP= Torque x RPM / K. If a 1 HP 4 Pole
electric motor is rated a 36 inch lbs of torque it will
develop .25 HP at 430 RPM, .5 Hp at 825 RPM and 1 HP at
1750. An IC engione cannot do that. It will have very
low torque excet at it peak speed.<br> I hope this
helps.
