But if the bar has a rotational velocity, power is also being produced. That's the rub. If things are not moving, then torque is interesting. It's also interesting for determining what the engine will do to its clutch and input shaft, but that's beside the point.ICEs effectively convert chemical energy to heat and then convert some of the heat to force*distance, then convert some of the force*distance to torque*θ, and they do it at a particular rate. The rate of these energy conversions is power, and the power from each of these processes exists. The torque you're speaking of only shows up at the output shaft portion of this. It's a heat engine.I kinda forgot what we were discussing lol... going back to what I initially quoted,I disagree. Engines convert energy from one form to another (i.e. chemical to heat to mechanical) and the rate at which they do it is power. Engines produce power.
