Essentially torque is the raw power that cau turn the axle, with no regard to time. 300 foot pounds is equivilant to having a 1-foot lever attached to the axle with 300 pounds on it. Horse power defines how much work a system can do over a period of time, or how quickly it can output a certain amount of work.
