No. I have no solid math behind my project because I'm doing just for the fun of it.

I was thinking prony brake. But assuming my project works, it's very dangerous to use since the shaft will spin at a very high rpm plus the heat that is given off from burning fuel. As for T = I * alpha. I have to calculate I which I think I can manage. Btw, do I have to take the ball bearings...

My turbine is extremely simple and light and it does not drive anything except it assembly (i'm planning to make this turbine a stand-alone thrust engine). The shaft is carrying a centrifugal compressor, two ball bearings, and a turbine wheel. Although I haven't weighted these objects, but the...

is there a way to calculate torque without knowing the power? consider this: P = T * rpm I can calculate rpm easily as I have a tachometer but without power, I can never find the torque. In case of translation, you can find the force propelling an object without knowing the power. For...
