Torque and speed of a DC motor — Torque of an electric motor is independent of speed. It is rather a function of flux and armature current.: N = frac{K(V IR)}{varphi} where: * N = number of turns * K = proportional constant * R = resistance of armature (ohms) * V = electromotive … Wikipedia
Torque converter — A torque converter is a modified form of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a , such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load. Like a basic fluid coupling, the torque converter… … Wikipedia
Stall (engine) — A stall is the slowing or stopping of a process, and in the case of an engine, refers to a sudden stopping of the engine turning, usually brought about accidentally. It is commonly applied to the phenomenon whereby an engine abruptly ceases… … Wikipedia
