The question that's on my mind is this. From Paul's controller build thread, I've gleaned that watts are meaningless to torque, and that the more amps you can cram into a motor the more torque you will get, at least as far as DC motors are concerned.

What I'd like to know is if AC adheres to this rule as well, or, can I double my torque by doubling my voltage, drawing the same amps but double the watts?
