Check the fan bearings and other possible 'drags' on the blower if the measured amps are too high for the motor being used. The chart indicates 3 hp is enough to meet the specs. you specify.

I agree the pulleys indicated in my answer are too small to transmit 3 hp reliably. They were simply an example of two pulleys in the right ratio (1.5:1) to meet the RPM requirements. For continuous or heavy usage, the pulleys need to be much larger and may even need to be running more than...

The ratio of RPM between the motor and fan needs to be 1.5. Therefore you need a 3 inch dia. pully on the motor and a 2 inch on the fan. 3/2=1.5. Check the amps pulled by the motor with this combination to see if you are over driving the motor.

Is this the situation?

Having an exposed positive terminal with the negative still attached is just asking for an event! Like throwing a bullet in a campfire. Most of us tend to lay tools all around the open hood area as we are working with a difficult replacement like a timing chain or water pump. Think what might...

I think the problem with removing the positive terminal at the battery terminal first is as follows. While removing the positive terminal the metal wrench being used might come in contact with metal of the car. If the battery contained a charge, this might cause a lot of sparks as high current...

All you need to know is the dynamic coefficient of friction between the tires and the surface it sits on and the weight of the car to get the maximum possible horizonal force the car can produce.

Why don’t you use a small 12 volt smoke detector battery for a test? Just place the wire across the terminals and see how hot it gets. CAUTION! IT WILL BE VERY HOT! CAUTION! IT WILL BE VERY HOT! Add resistance in series with the wire to reduce the current/temperature. Adjust(add/remove) the...

Is the support at B a spring? Does the force at E remain perpendicular to the structure as it rotates? E to F need not be considered if the downward force is concentrated at E.

Sorry for the injudiciousness. Too much Christmas Eggnog!

The marking of capacitor terminals is an antiquated practice that is no longer necessary. Capacitor terminals at various times in the past were designated with terms such as: In and Out, Up and Down, Plus and Minus, + and -, Charge and Discharge, etc. These terms where ambiguous to the neophyte...
