Also, when playing with steamers, things are sort of reverse...<br><br>in the most simplified theory, steamers have constant TE<br><br>so instead of starting with HP and calculating TE at a given speed, you start with TE and calculate HP at a given speed. <br>As a result of that equation, their HP rises as their speed rises<br><br>But in reality its never that simple and linear of course. That's just a rough illustration of the difference between electric and steamer physics<br>
