    Flywheel Rpm
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the RPM of a flywheel, initial data is essential, such as dimensions or speed of a connected component. Without running the flywheel, calculations may rely on theoretical values or known parameters. Suggestions for determining RPM include using formulas based on torque and power or measuring the time taken for a specific number of rotations. Accurate calculations require a clear understanding of the system's mechanics. Ultimately, having baseline information is crucial for any RPM calculation.

I need to calculate the rpm of my flywheel on my wobbler so I can determine which flowmeter to use. Any suggestions? Is there any way to calculate rpm without running the flywheel?

It depends entirely on what you know to start with. You have to have some sort of information to begin the calculation, and you have not identified any at all.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
