Hydrualic pressure to HP formula

[Dan]

Well, been thinking about some continuously variable stuff and using
a computer to keep the engine at optimum RPM for load.  Go-cart is
a lot less to fool around with than a real car and you get a pretty
good idea how well something works.  Of course theory is even cheaper
if you can think it all through, but hands-on is more fun and captures
all those little things that the formulas sometimes miss.
