The serious point was that there is a relation between torque and energy, but they are distinct. and actually the relation is slightly more complicated than I stated, but I think that for a bolt of N turns and assuming a constant torque, the heat dissipated (in Joules) == applied_torque (in N.m) * N / (2 * pi).
OK, hold on here. W = 2 * pi * N * Torque.

Yep. Sorry for the wrong calc. regards Any Little
