Forgive the side-tracking, but I need to point out the above statement is incorrect. When you use gear reduction (and pulley reduction is just a different type of gear reduction), you still transmit all of the power. The torque is what gets multiplied by the gear ratios, as well as the RPM. But the power stays the same.
