But that higher torque only matters if it's measured over time, which means its power. No matter how you cut, slice, chop, filet, churn or mix it, if you measure it over time - its power performing work. Changing the gear ratio only changes the apparent rpm/speed in which the work happens.
Nearly everyone here is actually talking about POWER in certain rpm ranges, no matter how it's expressed. Ya know how I know that? The constant reference to rpM. If that "M" is there, then we are talking about power, a measurement over time. You can build your motor to put the power where ever you want it in the rpm band and arguing about whether it's torque or HP is just silly. You know, mathematics being what they are.
