torque has never made sense to me
I'm trying to design a windmill generator.
If I have a windmill standing upright but unsupported, and the wind imparts a force on the face of the fan blades, intuitively the fan is going to fall over backwards, in the direction the wind is blowing

so why then does the actual torque fuck off into a completely orthogonal, unrelated direction???
