Independent non-engineer inventor is looking to determine parameters for prototype.
Current prototype question:
A 10 lbs.weight (wheel) 6 inches from the axle held within a circular steel frame traveling at 7,200 rpm (282 fps = to 88,385 lbs. of centrifugal force) if that wheel ran over and compressed a perimeter-placed piston 1/4” at 366 lbs. of pressure (91 inch lbs. of total force), what would be the loss of velocity?
This is not a homework question-I am an inventor who, unfortunately, holds a communications degree.
Compressing a piston using rolling weights.
Need to know if a weight (wheel) is doubled in mass does that reduce the velocity loss (as a result of rolling over and compressing the piston) by one half? Assuming the initial velocity is the same for both weights.Current prototype question:
