Its very simple, a engine with a lot of power (HP) either has a high rpm or high torque. And infact, with enough gears a high rpm engine can work as a high torque engine. (or the other way).

This isn't a car. And if it was you could always gear up to make it work. Old steam cars had direct drive, and LOTS of torque... just depends on the application needed. The only way to make more HP is to increase RPM, or increase torque. Torque can be increased by building a bigger engine, or using a turbo/supercharger to effectivly increase and engines displacement... more air, more fuel, more bang... but torque is where it starts.

Yes but gears increase the weight, and causes energy loss about 10-20%
