I have come up with 'torque'. Does anyone know if this is correct or if there is a different term? Many thanks.

drive or driving forces, drive or driving power, motive force or power, propelling force or power

Explanation:
Various possibilities. I think I'd use 'driving forces' in this context. Avoid the use of 'power' and 'torque', I would say. And 'torque' is certainly not the right term here. Cheers again!
