Could someone please direct me to some introductory material on wind tunnels? Specifically, how are qualitative techniques (smoke, paint, streamers) applied and interpreted? Thanks so much Joe

I'll be visiting the physics department with the Chemistry Club from Essex County College tomorrow. Come say Hi!

TL;DR Summary: Between design simulation, prototyping and measurement, what are sane error margins for emotor torque? We're going to design and prototype some small emotors. There are essentially 3 "stages"; -design software -prototype -measurement system Measurement system will be...

Yes.

I know Ansys has MotorCad, but I also know COMSOL has a lot of functionality. Anything else I need to look at? In general, what are the selection criteria? What outputs should I look for in the model besides power consumption and torque? What is a sane error? In other words, assuming I can...

Hello I am Joe. I was here for a while and then I wasn't, because health stuffs. Anyway, I'm back in school for engineering (probably ,f the mechanical variety, but I don't need to declare for another year or so). Anyhow, I will be joining many clubs so I can promote you guys. Hope that helps...
