I am doing a math project. Our goal is to use Mathematica to design some small wind turbine blades, 3D print them, and then attaching it to a small dc motor. I did something very similar for science Olympiad, where we had been measuring the "power" by measuring the voltage between the two wires...
Hi,
For my project I am plotting a Force vs Displacement graph using 2 analog inputs which are going to a DAQ.
The two analog inputs are coming from;
-A 5k potentiometer (for the displacement)
-A 1000 lb load cell sensor (for the force)
I would like to use a regulated 12V DC (1Amp) power...
I have a hydro turbine spinning at 62.746RPM and it produces 170.195Nm of torque.
It generates 1.1183kW but ideally, I would like to step it up to at least 4.5kW.
Is this possible using a gearbox and if so how can it be done?
I'm trying to plot the probability of error for the following equation using Matlab software, i want to use the command "trapz" for the numerical integration, the problem is that i get a fine shape for the plot, but the values in the y-axis are wrong, the whole curve should be between 0 and 1.2...
Hello, I have a strange request from a client.
