  1. Once you know the wheel is connected to the propeller, it makes perfect sense. Any car enthusiast understands transmission and differential gear ratios, and how a tiny engine can produce a lot of torque through gearing. It's the same thing that's happening here. The small wheel is moving quickly and the big wheel (the propeller) is moving less quickly, but with higher torque.
