Hi I was watching this: How will we calculate various outputs? 1 Final toruqe? 2 RPM 3 Output shaft horsepower? Will it just be a sum of the individual motors, or will there be other things to keep in mind? Does the efficiency scale linearly? What issues will appear from a setup like...

I am doing a research project investigating the relation between the rpm of an object and the frequency of the sound it generates. The set up is as follows; I am spinning a fidget spinner with a water pressure kit then recording its rpm and the frequency of the sound it creates from its fast...

I'm looking for a motor that will drive a colorwheel inside a robot. All of the 12v/DC motors I have discovered so far have significantly higher RPMs (3000+) than I require. I would prefer something that runs quietly between 3 and 10 RPM. I looked online and found a few gear motors to try, but...

Hello all, the short story is, I am basically trying to get the same ( or a little more) “power” out of a larger lawn mower type gas engine ( vertical shaft) as one of the largest (120 ish cc) chainsaws ( ref the Stihl MS 880 or newer 881 at approx 10-12k rpm and 9 Hp) The parameters are : a...

Hi, I need help finding a way to seal my 775DC 30,000 rpm 5mm motor shaft going into my pump housing I built. This motor will run once a week for up to 5 minutes. The pump with have air and water in it. I will rarely ever be completely filled with water. So, the pump will mainly be pushing...

Imagine a spinning wheel built into a hand size vacuum box. There is no friction between the axe bearings of the wheel and the box. Let's say that the wheel rotates with 60 RPM. Am I right if I assume: 1. The wheel continues to rotate, approximately as if in space. 2. It is not possible to...

Hello I am trying to achieve 3500 rpm from 60rpm. The gear ratio I have worked out is 58:1. To minimize the size I have divided into 4 levels with the gear ratio of 2:1, 3.1, 3.1, 3,1, which rounds me up to 54:1 ratio is also ideal for me can anyone please help mw find the appropriate solution...

looking for some guidance on what seems to be an oversimplification of calculating RPM. Using hi speed video (240 frames per second), I can determine that it takes .087 of a second for a thrown football to make its first revolution when coming off the hand of the thrower. Assuming I want to use...

I was reading a post about the effects of RPM on gas mileage, It was from 2007 so I couldn't reply to it. RPM does make a difference on gas mileage when it comes to overdrives. I had an '82 Buick Riviera with a small block engine with an overdrive and a quadrajet that got 26 MPG on the freeway...

Hello, I have got an integrated motor-fan unit of a Dyson DC04 vacuum. I don't know the motor speed (could not find from the manufacturer) but I guess, it must be well in excess of 10,000 rpm. Here is an image: https://www.espares.co.uk/product/es1562476 Now, I want to fit an axial, blower fan...

Vehicle Mass : 3 tonnes Manufacturer's instruction is to test vehicle's parking brake effectiveness is to engage parking brake on 30.96 degrees slope. If it holds, it is effective. I do not have 30.96 degrees slope & I want to replicate the same test on flat ground. I was thinking of...

I'm thinking about the large (for the 1960's) farm tractors I drove, that produced lots of low end torque, and max RPM was ~ 1800 ~2200 (from memory). Are there certain design factors to maximize horsepower at these low RPMs, versus a common auto engine that might peak around 5,000-6,000 RPM...

Hi, Scenario: Given a powerplant is being provided a constant power source - like steam is being produced at a steady rate, so that the generator rotates at a constant speed, and in turn, produces a constant electrical frequency. And, suppose, hypothetically, all the power being used...

Hello, I am a programmer and I would need an equation to determine the RPM of a wheel. First I select a point in the wheel. Then I measure the time it takes for the wheel to spin arround once. This would give me the results. What would be a good equation for this?

What would happen to a dc small generator if it is moved at more rpm that is it designed to? Does it will produce more, less or the same? I have this question since I while. Thank you

I have picked up a used pfeiffer turbomolecular pump and controller for pretty cheap. It runs like a champ, completely smooth and quiet except for when it’s first starting up. As it approaches 5500 rpm, it starts vibrating somewhat and sometimes produces a momentary scraping noise when the...

Hi I have a problem dealing with rpm power and torque. I have a motor powering a gearbox which has a 20:1 ratio. The power and rpm are not an issue so i have not looked at those figures but the motor produces 240Nm of torque. Since it is a 20:1 gearbox, i have assumed the torque is 20 times...

I have no previous experience collecting RPM data so would like advice from those with previous experience. I need to collect RPM data from my machine and record it's behavior as I apply and remove power. I'll be engaging and disengaging a load. So I'm trying to find out how long it takes for it...

Hello,I've read somewhere that during launch rapid change of RPM causes an increase in torque?What is the point of this?İs that the reason why cars tend to make tires slip when we try to launch at very high RPM?The extra torque added to engine torque?

Hello everyone! I was wanting to know if something like this was possible. I read (Wikipedia) that the moment a cylinder will burst is when the hoop stress is equal to the cylinder's tensile strength. It also appears that the thickness of the material doesn't matter. I don't see Young's...

Hello Wizards! Does permanent magnet alternator efficiency increase with RPM? Would an alternator with small magnets turning at high speed be more efficient than and alternator with large magnets turning at low speed. Frequency of output is not a concern, ( converting to dc ) Thanks for...

Hi! I am making an aeolipile as a school project, and I was wondering if you could calculate the rpm. This is the basic principle of an aeolipile. You should be able to calculate the rotating velocity right? Knowing the mass and ignoring any resistance. But then you'll need the rotating...

Hello all, Just wondering if there is a mathematical formula that calculates the maximum rpm. If I have a fan that puts out 3 pounds of rotational force at stall speed(completely still) at the end point of a 1.5 ft blade what would be the maximum rpm of this fan with the blade attached. What...

Hey guys I do apologize in advance for any errors or misunderstandings in my question, been that english is not my native language. I was wondering how to calculate the RPM of a gear (or a wheel) applied with a known force. I'm guessing I'm not using the correct terminologies using Google...
