Depends upon a number of factors including atmospheric consditions and
the diameter.
All the the power is expened accelerating a column of gas downward.
The larger that column, the less power expended.

i claim this can be solved by choosing an arbitrary value for the
exhaust velocity.
the website was a good one but it doesn't help solving this particu;ar
problem.

Then you are an idiot.

It would take an engine with 1000 kilograms of thrust.

Thrust is force, horsepower is power.

Power equals thrust times velocity and your velocity is zero.

OP seems to knew what he's doing. Looks like the beginning
of a promising troll.
