Yes. (The always part is kind of what an equation is about.)

No.

Good job framing the questions to get the answer you wanted.

I simply meant the proof for why 5252 is a valid constant does not come (directly) from the equation for HP, but that it is used in the equation for HP.

You're an equation for horsepower.

Power equals force times distance. SInce the motor (crank is rotating) in order to get distance you need to multiply the RPMS time 2 (3.14) R (formula for circumference of a circle). The force is the torque of the motor multiplied by the stroke which is the Radius of the circle and there for cancels out. Plug in the numbers for whatever units you prefer and they will cancel out to 5252 every time.

You seem to know more about this stuff than I do. Why didn't you decide to build your own motor on a stand in your living room?

I have built and ported a aluminum intake manifold in my kitchen sink before. Now I'm all grown up and make good money so I pay people to do that stuff. I not rich or loaded, but I'm past the point in my life where it's appropriate to have a motor in my living room and my career keeps me busy enough that I really don't have the time.

First of all, good for you. Second of all, when is it ever not appropriate to have a motor in your living room?

Resistance to flow? Is that what you're going for?

I think Throttle Crazy calls it the automotive equivalent blue balls.
