Yes please.
Imagine the neck snapping acceleration of 1100fptq at zero rpm.

Yes please.
Imagine the neck snapping acceleration of 1100fptq at zero rpm.

There would be no acceleration at all at 0 RPM and the horsepower would be zero.

There would be no acceleration at all at 0 RPM and the horsepower would be zero.

"The battery-powered Cobra Jet 1400 prototype is said to produce more than 1,100 ft-lbs of torque at 0 rpm"

I was quoting the article. I assume most people get that they where saying that as soon as it moves its making 1100fptq.

There can be limitless torque at 0 rpm but that ÷ zero acceleration and 0 horsepower. Torque is a static measurement. For work to be produced there has to be movement. That high number is a little bit deceptive anyway. For example, 1100 pound-feet of torque at 1000 RPM is just over 209 horsepower and just over 418 at 2000.

Doing the math it would take to run those 1/4 times
equates to around the same 1200 H.P;

I used this calculator.

This calculator will tell the RPM needed...

A torque converter in a combustion engine powered car does exactly the same thing... produces the highest amount of torque at the "zero rpm" of the turbine...

Still no match for a Foxbody and 5K

5k? 5k of TNT?

Not a good comparison. There is work being produced by the engine the converter is attached to.

Yes but much like the electric motor which has max torque at zero RPM and decreasing as the RPMs increase... as the stator / turbine RPM increases, so does the torque realized at the driveshaft..

An electric motor has the exact same torque at every point in its operating range. The only variable would be from a drop in electrical current or internal friction.

This is entirely wrong.

[Murph Tang]

yeah but does it have cup holders?

That will be fun leaving Cars and Coffee.
