Force, Torque, Power
If I stand on a scale and see 200 pounds (I wish) that is force.
If I stand on a one foot wrench I will be creating 200 foot pounds of torque.
If the wrench turns I will be causing work - torque over time. I've forgotton the constants.

A dyno, I believe, measures maximum torque at various RPM. RPM gives you time so HP is caclulated from the torque curve.

Remember HP is WORK, move something over a distance in a certain amount of time. Double the horsepower and you cut the time in half.
