Just to clarify, a gear box with a ratio of 2:1 increases the speed by 200% and decreases the HP by 200% or is it just the speed which is increased?
For example,
An input of 1000 HP at 1000 RPM would be 500 HP at 2000 RPM, right?

Power is not changed by a gearbox. torque increases as frequency decreases.
I do not know what horses have to do with this. I thought you were referring to cars.
