Exactly. Plus it also depended on how fast the rate of acceleration of the engine is. A 1 lb weight on the outside of a 6" diameter accelerating at 2000 RPM per second at 7000 RPM is taking less than 0.54 HP. Where as that 1 lb on the outside of a 12" diameter accelerating at 2000 RPM per second at 7000 RPM is taking 2.17 HP.
