Lets say the engine HP is 200 at 6000 RPM.

 >  The horsepower will remain the same (200) The PSRU trades speed for
torque. The PSRU has increased the torque but reduced the speed.    Which

what we want to keep the prop tips sub sonic.  Why? Have you developed a
perpetual motion machine we don't know about????   :-)

Now you can compare the torque and rpm at the propeller flange to a list of
known outputs from "real" airplane engines.
