Default You are welcome Jazzy

I was replying to the steam engine and electric motor stuff. There was a reference to WORK being an applied force.
Work is moving a force thru a distance ,POWER is the rate of doing work ! An applied force without movement is not WORK . The force can be the torque of the engine spinning the prop ,or the prop pulling the plane. Rotational force is far from the only measure.
Newbies only benefit from simplicty if it is also accurate. To pick up misinformation as a newbie is worse than having to exercise above the eyes a bit and get off on the right foot
I'm sorry if what I am trying to do differs from what you are trying to do
