Just wondered what the torque would be - assuming the video is its working speed, at max. power the output shaft would be transmitting about 2 million ft-lb of torque, or 2.8 million Nm.
That feels like an implausibly high number - feel free to check!
I assumed an output shaft speed of 30 rpm.

This is a normal post Did you pick up from the video
that they only run it at 100 psi, but it was designed to run at 160? Huge torque indeed.

This is a normal post Max speed was 70rpm.
So yes about a million foot-pounds.

It can also reverse direction in a matter of seconds.
