Moving the arms back produces opposite torque which stops the twisting rotation.

So at some point, the Normal force starts producing more torque than friction.

The motor around the base produces torque, just like in bacteria for movement through the aqueous environment.

Electric motors are used to produce linear force or torque (rotary).

Contrast this with an induction motor, which must slip to produce torque.

Early Studebaker body development mule vehicles suffered damage because the engine produced so much torque.

Originally, these were 12-valve engines, but later models offered a 24-valve version of the 3 litre six, producing much more power and torque.

Patterson found that each cup produced maximum torque when it was at 45 degrees to the wind flow.

At the end of this time the rotor has moved forward to a position where the motor is producing negative torque.

The same amount of power can be extracted by allowing the rotor to rotate faster and produce less torque.
