Message	OK, you have the speed of the drum, you have the speed of the drum an instant ago, you have the mass of the drum. Those give you current change in velocity of, and torque on, the drum. You do not have torque produced by the engine because you don't have the gear ratio. From torque on the drum you can compute power applied to the drum but you don't know to which RPM you should attribute it. So far, you have nothing but power vs drum speed. To get further, you need that RPM feed. That will give you power vs RPM, and it lets you calculate the gear ratio and give you engine torque vs RPM. Are we in agreement now? - John
