Please give me statistics... HP, volts, watts, rpm, etc... PLEASE!
which one of those defines the electric motor's "strength"?
(well, let's see, somebody called me and said I had to repair that damn drawbridge by replacing that burned up motor...) Just kidding!!!! I ain't assigned to something like that. Lol!

If I knew why you asked I could maybe give a better answer. I don't know what you mean by strength of a motor.
The Power is measured in horsepower (hp). Watts is equivalent but not normally used for motors. This is rate of energy transfer.
Torque you don't mention, is basically a rotational force, and might be more of a strength. The starting torque is the ability to get something moving. It is measured in a force times a distance, such as lb-ft (or ft-lb).
I wouldn't call the speed (rpm) of a motor strength, but the speed a motor has is related to the power and torque.
Volts is just the power supply rating. Higher voltage means less current (and smaller wires). This has nothing to do with what the motor's strength is.

HP and Watts would indicate the power of the motor (1HP= approx 750Watts). RPM would merely indicate the complete revolutions completeted per minute.
